Banning fresh bread and requiring bakers to store fresh bread until it is stale....to discourage consumption.
Derbyshire Police officers pour black water dye into the ‘Blue Lagoon’ in Harpur Hill, Buxton to discourage people visiting the lake during the 2020 Fake Pandemic.
These actually seem pretty different to me. In the case of mandating stale bread during the famine, they still wanted consumption, but they wanted to make it less attractive. In the case of the lake, they’re trying to make it unattractive enough to stop “consumption”.

History repeating itself.

(Reading more, it looks like the quarry was also died black in 2013 and 2016, and they’re dying it because the water is caustic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpur_Hill_Quarry)
