Doesn't mean they should be taxed more, the best answer is always less taxes, not more.

There should be tax breaks for companies which offer affordable healthy food.

Quite. Instead of just making everything more expensive, maike it so good quality food is cheaper.

We dont really have this issue now as finances are stable, but when we were very poor, you could get a 50 bag of chicken nuggets for a quid. Where fresh fruit and veg were ridiculous prices when we had like..20-30 quid to do shopping for the whole week...

I hate how the go to answer always seems to be 'charge people more'

Well not in restaurants, but doing the general shopping..we lived on crap for a few months, and fruit and beg was a treat, as was fresh meat. Was bloody awful tbh.

Given more people than every are living in poverty these days, my vote would be for tax breaks for companies wh charge less for 'proper' food.

I wish those 'wonky veg' or whatever it is that tesco do was around when I was skint mind!
