I read the study kaz. The level of poverty in some areas is dropping to levels not seen since the 40s, if you're wanting to see images of people 3rd world stylee starving before you admit there's a problem that's your issue. It is not however the measure of poverty in the UK.

Fair enough Kizzy,I haven't studied it so perhaps I shouldn't comment,but to me there is a difference between being hungry and starving and although I was not around in the 40s,people say they were the good old days,yes they struggled,but in those days people helped out each other,and cooked their own fresh food,sometimes in life we have to rely on ourselves and not other people,I am all for helping the very needy,hell, my mom has tried to get stuff for a disabled man she has looked after for years and he cant get it so she improvises,I am sure there are so many people worse off than us in this world,but as I say I haven't studied it , I don't want anyone to starve or even be hungry,but I do know people who would rather have a fag than a meal.

I bet without the food banks some people literally would be starving.I'm not comparing now to the 1940's because i see that comparison as too extreme and there are alot of lazy *****ers about who get too much money for doing nothing but i've seen programmes where mothers have enough money to feed their kid but not themselves and can't even afford a Christmas present for the kid.

Dont mean to sound unfeeling here ,but,a bag of potatoes is a £1,tin beans 30p and maybe pack fishfingers for a quid,or similar,that would be roughly £3,that would feed more than one,so are people REALLY saying people aren't eating?

Ok ,and yes,I have 3 little ones,baby milk is probably the most expensive on that list and surely the things listed don't need buying every day,babyfood can be made along with your own food,it's not as though people have no money at all coming in,a lot of these people are skint as they are living above their means,NOT ALL but some.
