money.co.uk— The average trip to the supermarket is costing much more than before - which means that some people have been forced to drastically cut back on their food consumption.

Skipping meals? Thats not good for their metabolism! Sure, they may lose a few pounds at first, even though it's a mixture of mostly water, then muscle, and then fat. And when they do start eating normally again, the metabolism they screwed with by eating less will be slow to catch up with the more food they're eating, and will actually cause them to get a high body fat percentage, since the few pounds they did lose was more muscle than fat (more water as well).Sorry, just a random health tangent.

Is this for real? I don't get why people in the USA and UK have to go hungry, there is plenty of money around. Enough to make sure everyone gets fed.

Perhaps we should stop burning food as fuel.

I don't think you are supposed to skip eating, from what I understand food is a bit of a necessity
