Many people in this subcontinent used to spend their days or not eat at night, but this history is very old. But in this era of high inflation, there are reports that people in developed countries like the UK are fasting for one meal or reducing the amount of food.
When the Corona pandemic arose, the Ras-Ukraine war began, and the price of fuel and food is going up around the world due to this war, and people like the UK are now fasting.
According to the survey, one in seven people who are fasting or being forced to reduce their food items, food manufacturers have now started to put the burden of high fuel prices on the buyers, which has led to this situation.
The inflation rate in the UK has gone up to 7 percent. It is now the highest in 30 years, but this is the end of the year, Bank of England forecast, inflation, the situation is that many people in the UK are now turning to frozen food because, if food is cooked, the gas or electricity bill will go up again.
57 percent of the people who participated in the survey said that they have had to struggle to provide food in the last three months. 14 percent said that they themselves or some family members have reduced the food position last month or fasted one day. While 8.8 percent of people said such things in January.
The Food Foundation Executive Director Ana Taylor told the BBC that the poison is no longer limited to a mere economic crisis, but is becoming increasingly a health crisis, and now it is not possible to solve the problem only in the food bank.
In this situation, a government spokesperson said, ‘We understand how much pressure the people's lives are under. In this situation, we are doing what we do on behalf of the government. The government is providing 2,200 million pounds to pay the price of electricity and fuel for the people.’
The survey was conducted on 10,674 UK people from April 22 to 29.
