King's Atlantic carrier allocation and the disputed food-crisis premise

Was King wrong to withhold fleet carriers from the Atlantic in 1942 while Britain faced a food crisis?

The stated severity of Britain's food position and the proposed fleet-carrier remedy are both challenged.

A viewer argues that King should have sent carriers to the Atlantic in 1942 and links that criticism to Britain's food supply. Clarke rejects the premise that Britain was then on the brink of starvation. He also disputes treating fleet carriers as a straightforward solution to the submarine threat. No shipping-loss or food-stock figures are presented.
