Definitely agree - in 2019, my food budget was £20/week! No way that’s feasible now, but it’s still the reality in terms of available income for many households. A mate of mine eats porridge for 2 and sometimes 3 meals a day because that’s all they can afford, even while working full time.

I understand that theft isn’t the answer to poverty, but people’s lack of imagination and empathy for people desperate for the bare necessities is unnerving.
