Food poverty: the end of the line?
1989
The adequacy and appropriateness of official responses to food poverty in 1980s' Britain are questioned. A qualitative study was carried out in NW England, 1987/88, exploring the mechanisms behind social inequalities in eating behaviour, as the basis for the development of effective social policy. Structural and material constraints and pressures external to and beyond the control of low-income households were found to be largely responsible for their eating behaviour. The implications of inadequate domestic financial resources are discussed here.
