On the whole I love where I live, but something I was super grateful for and really miss about living in the UK was the much-more-accessible food prices. I'm sure things have gone up since I left, but for scale, a perfectly ordinary, no-frills supermarket just charged me $11 for these potatoes. Meanwhile, state agencies have now withdrawn the hardship increase to (food stamp) benefits, so people on low to no income get far less grocery money, while the massive "inflation"-induced price hikes (read: shamelessly opportunistic profiteering) from grocers are worse than ever. I'm fortunate to have an income that enables me to access food and housing at the same time, but many don't. This is what a class war looks like.

Food aid supply chains rely on a surplus of food donations, but when shortages occur, these organizations are left with difficult decisions and very few resources.

Why do data providers call situations or ? It's just poverty full stop - and high cost of essentials including housing cost compared to low wages is at the heart of it. Headlines - 4million children in food poverty - that means going hungry. Truly we are now dickensian?

I really, really do not know why the government refuses to help provide for food in schools.

The number of UK children in food poverty has nearly doubled in the last year to almost 4 million, new data shows, ramping up pressure on ministers to expand the provision of free school meals to struggling families.

As they celebrate their special day together, instead of asking for wedding gifts wonderful fundraisers Jo and Ian have asked for donations towards Braintree Area Foodbank. 👏 🎁

Braintree's local food bank fed almost 6,000 people last year, and almost half of those benefitting from this service were children.
