For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Very few people are starving, all the pubs near me were sold out of NYE tickets (I live in a deprived area, apparently), the airports are busy with British holidaymakers jetting off to Benidorm and the like, the fast fashion companies are thriving and people still queue to get their hands on the latest Apple product.
People choose what they put in their mouths. My breakfast every day is porridge made with water and a piece of fruit a couple of hours later. The only cheaper breakfast is no breakfast. I could buy three fresh chickens for a tenner from the supermarkets. I stocked up with the very cheap root veg and sprouts at Christmas. It is possible to eat very healthily on a tight budget - but some people seem to prefer fast food and takeaways.
8.31, I doubt very much anyone is staving. There's a big difference between staving and being hungry. There is still affordable food to buy, ( value food) but the latter has no value to your health, only your pocket. Most supermarkets provide a cheap loaf of bread around 45p/ 75p but take a look at the list of ingredients, its mind blowing, all very bad for anyones health, not to mention the vast amount of sugar and salt in other foods. Like I said value foods are killing people before their time. Government response is yet again a joke. Time and time again they've refused to do anything about the contents of food especially salt and sugar. They could, very much like they have acted on vape products.
Orwell (Road to Wigan Pier)
"The ordinary human being would sooner starve than live on brown bread and raw carrots. And the peculiar evil is this, that the less money you have, the less inclined you feel to spend it on wholesome food. A millionaire may enjoy breakfasting off orange juice and Ryvita biscuits; an unemployed man doesn't."
