Food poverty.

[Workingman]

Food banks were only ever going to be a short term fix by tugging at heart strings, and knowledge can only be passed down in homes if it is already there. It's not, over just a few generations it has been lost. We need something else.

Food poverty is not only about money or those on benefits, there are many other things involved.

[cromwell]

Wholesalers and supermarkets not leaving some 33% of food in the fields to rot because it does not meet their "ideal" shape, size or appearance.

That's a shocker. I had no idea the percentage was as high as that.

Cooking and nutrition as a core part of the school curriculum for all

I agree with this. When I was at school the girls did domestic science whilst we had to have a go at woodwork; which I was useless at. I would far rather have been taught the basics of cookery.

There is a worrying undercurrent by those in power to blame the poor for being poor and that it is necessary to control them.

I think this goes beyond the poor. Imo a surveillance society is being constructed in this country.
