Do the priviledged even have a Food Security problem?
A local food security crisis?
If I lived in a developing country, this would be only too easy to answer. Taking a look at the global hunger map is sobering enough.
But locally? I'm very lucky to live in such a priviledged country. Searching my city and 'food' brings up a multitude of links to restaurants, supermarkets, takeaways, business registrations, even courses; all things you would expect to find in a big city in the UK. We clearly have *lots* of food. Is there really… Continue

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
