AIBU to find using food as play material really irresponsible at the moment?

Just as the title says really. I keep seeing people making salt dough decorations using half (!!!) a bag of flour. That's over 2 sour loaves... also painting pasta, using it for sensory play, along with flour. It just seems there is a shortage of those ingredients and people aren't even using them for food! Am I being an unreasonable grump or is that just plain irresponsible and wasteful?

there are people every day who do not have sufficient food, let alone sufficient quality calories and need to access foodbanks, churches, soup kitchens and shelters what makes you think those people have disappeared?

That’s not because of Corona Virus.

Its also not a supply issue.

There are plenty of quality calories available for those people in the supermarkets also. The problem is lack of political will to make them available and affordable.
