I am pretty sure that there is abuse of the system - visible when claimants rock up to the distribution centres in brand new SUVs. I might be way off base but I thought that a recipient had to produce proof of need - e.g something from DWP?
Don't forget that a lot of the generation younger than those of us on this forum have never been taught to cook. There was a fascinating documentary on U Tube yesterday about what people ate and how they kept themselves well nourished during The Depression in America. And during WW2 here. Apologies, I cannot remember what it was called. But I think that everyone should be encouraged to watch it. As we are now all ostensibly going into desperate times, maybe we should all have a look - potato peel soup, masses of pulses, scavenging butcher's bones for stock etc. etc.
I am pretty frugal but it could be fun!!
