I was aware of the issue of fat shaming and poverty shaming that has taken place over the past decade based on one essential ingredient of food. Maybe the #FoodIndustry needs to be forced to act rather than blaming people without money.

‘Tax us now’: ultra-rich call on governments to introduce wealth taxes
"The current lack of action is gravely concerning. A meeting of the global elite in #Davos to discuss ‘cooperation in a fragmented world’ is pointless if you aren’t challenging the root cause of division,

The government is planning to spend £2.2 billion bailing out private energy company Bulb (which collapsed last year).
Now they want to pay Octopus a further £1 billion to take it over.
