UK food bank crisis is only getting worse

And it will only get worse. Global capitalism has never had it better. That means the rest of us struggle to make ends meet. It might be slightly worse in the UK, but America has its worsening food insecurity crisis. It’s worldwide. The 1 percent response is: let them eat cake:

Demand is now so high that staff have had to reassess the services they offer. Earlier this month, guests were told that a cooked breakfast would no longer be provided – costs and numbers have made it impractical – and recently an ambulance had to be called because a woman hit her head as people rushed forward to get in.

…It comes after the Observer revealed in February that more people than ever are depending on food banks in Britain – including pensioners, NHS staff and teachers.
