why would we be letting food rot on the motorway as we try to export it under No deal?
we are told that we will have a shortage of food under no deal, surely we would be selling everything we produce within the UK

You're very fearful/credulous. Things will be exactly as they were back in the 70's. Nobody starved.

In the 70s (and 80s) I fit and thin - there was something to be said for at least my 70s food consumption.

Sounds like we might be going back to the days when British cuisine was a standing joke.

Then you need to get those ears tested, bad.
What will actually happen is that Britain will import what food people want to buy from all over the world, just like it does now.

The thing with 1970s was that it was the time of the rise of the home freezer and the rise of frozen and dried ready meals.
I lived on that stuff.
Tried a Fray Bentos tinned pie last year - gawd, it was awful.
Tried a Findus Crispy Pancake the other week. Ewww. I used to like that stuff.
However, there was no shortage of good fresh meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. It was just seasonal for the most part. And you could could very good meals with it.
Things were possibly better in a way: our small town (still called itself a "village") had 3 butchers, fishmonger and 2 greengrocers.
The variety of fish and meat was excellent - and there were far more random things available like ox kidneys and livers and proper bacon with rind on than now.

They probably hadn't got around to shoving corn syrup in everything. And kids ran around like loonies as there were no games consoles or smartphones.

Still love them.
I only ever ate those in desperation.
Our town has four 'proper' butchers within walking distance, and two bakeries plus a Saturday market baker's stall.

I love the steak and kidney puddings but for some reason the pie made me feel sick. Weird.
It's certainly true that a man can eat anything once he's used to it.

Thanks for confirming you want to turn the clock back to the 70s. Does that include all the industrial disputes of that time too? Or do you think you can cherry pick the best bits of the 70s too?
But I'd guess what you actually want is for yourself to be as you were in the 70s, rather than a sad old man.
