I couldn't help but break into tears. As an adult man who had a tough childhood and was raised by a single parent - I remember those cold nights where we didn't have food. It's demoralizing and defeating. The feeling that no one is coming to help you and you cannot help yourself is hollowing. Seeing the owner of the food bank (Dad's house) tearing up when thinking about not having the money to help others really struck me to my core. There are caring, loving, and generous people who genuinely want to help others. Seeing this makes me want to do the same. I'm so touched by the father's dedication to his three daughters. I hope I too can be a great father one day.

I'm in a rural part of Victoria Australia and want to start a food bank but the government's don't show you how to start. .. please help!!!

I can't help thinking, 50 years ago people were much poorer and had much lower expectations than now. (My parents grew up with outdoor toilets and coal stoves), yet - no food banks. What exactly is going on here?

People were more responsible back then, and the benefit and charity system was way less comprehensive as it is today. Just the fact that food banks are a thing now, and so widely talked about on social media means that the demand for them obviously goes up. Whether everyone going to a food bank actually needs it or not, that's a debate for a different time.

How can you justify spending so much money on a Coronation if everyone is so poor?

@Erin-rg3dw

Well...people went without, found another way, or just suffered. Many people with any yard space had gardens, hunted/fished, or had chickens, but even by WWII that was fading. My grandparents knew kids growing up that their families couldn't afford to feed (or feed properly), so the kids would go looking for food from other people. My great-grandmother had a bunch of kids who came to her regularly for food because there wasn't any at home. President Truman created the school lunch program after WWII because so many people couldn't join the military in the war due to malnutrition. We like to look back at the past and think it was some idyllic time, but in reality many people struggled. Back then the "safety nets" were your friends, family, and neighbors, instead of something like a food bank.

it is really ironic that the accident of birth can mean a struggle for food or sitting on a throne and have millions of pounds spend on a coronation, still not an equal society

To be fair a single person in his position claiming UC would also get their rent paid - through housing costs I believe & a single person discount for their council tax bill. I agree though that overall, those with children & with or without a partner often seem to get more welfare support in this country. I personally don’t think it’s right that for example a parent of 2 children with a partner - should get more help than say a single, childless adult - who’s solely responsible for all bills & obviously not eligible for child benefits/tax credits etc, but that is often the case.

I don't understand a $150 pound a week food budget for four people. I grew up poor in the US and we cooked everything from scratch. A 6 pound chicken fed our family of five all week. We ate cooked oatmeal for breakfast, peanut butter on homemade bread for lunch, and mystery stew with beans and cornbread for dinner. We grew our own greens. At age 70, I still do this today. Eating simple foods made from scratch and now I grow the greens indoors. I make my own condiments. When did people in our society lose their survival skills?

It was $150 before any other expenses - toiletries, medical supplies, etc. And considering how much they mentioned that people are cutting off their heat to because they can't afford to heat their homes and eat, I'm guessing there's not a lot of wiggle room in the utilities budget to use more energy to make things.

@@Erin-rg3dw Just a few decades ago, Britons cooked their food with woodstoves and coal. I think that people just got too lazy to go pick up downfall and cook over an old-fashioned campfire.

@GeckoHiker That implies that you have a place to burn (a stove or fireplace) in your home. Not everyone has those things, hence why they can't just burn sticks they find.
