Are you implying that the UK won't have enough food to feed itself post-Brexit, to the extent that it would need to import food from the US? I thought that the problem was that the US might insist on relaxing food safety regulations as part of a larger trade deal package. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

The question isn't the quantity of food, but the cost of food. There can be food aplenty, but if poor people need to spend a large amount of their income to acquire it, there will be a benefit to having a wider sourcing of cheaper food.
