Food poverty is not a term you expect to read about in relation to the UK.  We know through the work of charities that there is severe food poverty in other countries, such as: Haiti, Mali, South Sudan, Sudan, and many others.  But the UK?  In this day and age?  Not possible.  Surely anyone claiming to experience food insecurity in the UK must be wastrels, n'er do wells, who waste their money on booze, fags and drugs?  Some higher ups would like to have us think so.
