A few years ago I watched the documentary Black Gold and went off
Starbucks big time. The film tells the story of coffee production – and many of
Starbucks’ coffee growers were receiving such small sums for their produce that
they had to queue up at food camps because they couldn’t afford to feed
themselves on their meagre earnings.
Now food banks are rife across Britain – something I couldn’t have
envisaged a few years ago, albeit they may have existed on a smaller scale.
Our government is proud of its efforts to dig the country out of its
economic slump – but at what price?
Read the Hunger Hurts blog that went viral for Jack Monroe who now writes about cheap ways to eat well,
and sign her petition for an End UK Hunger budget this year and every year.
