Millions of Britons miss meals due to the high cost of living and the high prices of food that resulted from inflation exceeding 10% last month, according to an opinion poll “conducted by the” White Institute “.
About three thousand people participated in the poll, and the findings revealed that half of British households cut back on daily mealtimes.
According to the French Press Agency, a comparable percentage acknowledged that it is more difficult to eat healthily now than it was in the pre-crisis period and prefers ready meals to save on gas or electricity.
Eighty percent of those whose opinions were solicited reported having financial troubles. Many people opt not to purchase candy and sweets because they are content with the necessities.
After the new Minister of Finance significantly lowered the period for determining the ceiling for energy invoices yesterday, the British Consumer Protection Association warned that millions of British families may find themselves in a state of energy poverty and unable to afford the necessary heating during the winter.
