I meant in general and yes there are things we can live fine without.
Now that we talk about pizza dough and pasta

Cuts 70 percent of production: 'It's a very, very serious situation'
Gas prices are very high at the moment.
And the consequences have been felt in the European fertiliser industry, where fertiliser producers have cut capacity by 70% overall.
"The fertilizer industry in Europe has just closed over 70 percent of production capacity. This is a very, very serious situation that is completely out of the realm of possibility. This is a much bigger reduction in capacity than a year ago," says Jacob Bagge Hansen.
He points out that the situation was already serious back in the autumn of 2021. But from here it has only accelerated.
Fertiliser prices have been high for a long time, and with no prospect of prices settling right now, the consequences may be that food production will have to be reduced.
The media report that some production can be saved by importing more ammonia from other parts of the world.
But that is not easy, as there are limits to how quickly ammonia production can be ramped up, and that would just send ammonia prices soaring instead. Moreover, far from all fertiliser plants are built to take ammonia.
