The rising food prices means that more and more school children in the UK are forced to go hungry, according to The Food foundation.
– You notice that the children’s lunch boxes are getting smaller and smaller, says volunteer Louise Glew.
Two-thirds of 4- to 7-year-olds in the UK have to bring their own school lunch – or are forced to pay for it, according to UK government figures.
And the Food foundation, which is an organization that works for the right to good food, believes that 800,000 British children now live below the poverty line without having the right to a free school lunch.
– Those are the children we are really, really worried about, says Anna Taylor at the Food foundation.
