Over 2MN Adults in UK Can’t Afford to Eat Every Day - report
One in seven UK adults - 7.3mn – now fall under the ‘food-insecure’ bracket, up from 4.7mn in January, according to a food poverty report by Thinktank the Food Foundation.
The survey also reported a 57% jump in the proportion of households cutting back on food or skipping meals, while an estimated 2.6mn children report they now have smaller meals than usual, regularly skip meals altogether, or do not eat when they are hungry.
The Food Foundation said it was so shocked by its initial findings that it reran the survey on a wider basis, only to get the same results.
