Alice Beer on This Morning today
Over the last few days, UK supermarkets have reportedly been hit by vegetable shortages.
These shortages are being blamed on poor weather in Africa and Europe, Brexit rules, and energy prices.
To combat the shortages, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield welcomed Alice onto the show to provide viewers with some tips on how to make their vegetables last longer.
“We shouldn’t even be looking at a tomato until June should we really,” Alice said during the segment.
“We shouldn’t be looking at these things [veg] that are out of season. But we like them out of season, we like them all year round, so the supermarkets keep the shelves full of them.”

Alice then went on to seemingly hit out at those who enjoy eating out-of-season vegetables.
“Hell! We’re not going to get scurvy and all kneel over in the streets if we don’t have a pepper or a tomato or a cucumber for a couple of weeks,” she said.
“Yeah, so slightly, get over yourself,” Alice then added.
“But perhaps, in a way, we need to go back to the mentality, the post-war mentality,” she said.
Alice then went on to say that we waste a “hell of a lot” of food every year.
“It’s ludicrous,” she said.
Viewers slam Alice
It’s safe to say that Alice’s behaviour on the show didn’t go down well with some viewers.
