[quote:Anonymous Coward 1555106:MV8xNjQzMTUyXzI3MTM4NzEyXzQwM0I1NEJC] there is nothing in the article that says they are getting starvation rations. "The move comes amid growing levels of food poverty, fuelled by rising food prices and high rates of unemployment. Under the scheme, people whose benefits have been delayed, or have been refused crisis loans, will be referred to their local food bank. A claimant will be limited to three consecutive referrals – [b]each time giving them enough food for three days. They will be given basics such as tinned soup, baked beans, meat, fish and pasta.[/b]" The part I find confusing is that the article implies that you need a government referral to go to a privately run food bank.
