Because many of us eat/drink produce that comes in from the EU which is not/cannot be grown or produced here. And if we go out of the EU with no deal and go on WTO tariffs it will all cost a lot more post March 29th 2019.

Why not fill it with British produce and keep the money at home?
Attention all entrepreneurs! You know we have Christmas hampers........... well............I reckon there just might be a market for Brexit hampers. All full of EU produce bought before next March 29th and then given out to friends and neighbours just as the clock strikes 11.00pm on 29.3.19.
And to refer to the original post. Why does anyone think that we will do great trade deals with the US? Trump is a protectionist. He has already started to impose import tariffs. Any trade deals he does he will have to 'win'. That is what seems to drive him. "America First".

Yes I know and the point I am making is that it is highly likely this will increase if we import American processed foods. Not all people have the financial means to make a choice. They will eat (as they do now) what they can afford.
Britain also has an "obesity epidemic", and nobody will be forced to eat food they don't want to eat.
