[ 'I am tired of hearing from the Left how food banks "disgrace" Britain, as Jack Monroe (pictured), the food blogger and Guardian columnist has said'] Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...l#ixzz3LKCch5J [Let me tell you the story of the Oxford Food Bank, because it illustrates the point well. Five years ago, a few of us started with two aims. First, to get good, fresh food to the poorest people in our community. Second, to prevent food waste.The set-up we have created we call a ‘sustainable’ food bank, because all the food we distribute would otherwise have been thrown away. And the quantities are huge. Most weeks, we give away around five tonnes of food to hungry families – and in the past year we have given away more than one million pounds’ worth. The food is donated by supermarkets and wholesalers. And it’s all been done without a single penny of public money coming our way.] Last edited by arista; 08-12-2014 at 03:47 PM. |

this isn't a left or right issue... it's an ignorance issue.
