Is the real issue food poverty. Or is it just poverty?

The Cheshire East Food Alliance (CEFA) is one year old! I’m pleased to report progress... there’s greater cooperation amongst groups leading to food sharing...more projects are benefiting from funding – over £200k in the last round of Cost of Living / Household Support Fund grants alone. But also, from sources including Feeding Britain.

Yet, some things are all too familiar... one I would argue is the overuse of the phrase food poverty...including, sometimes, in describing my role. Is this just masking the real issue - which is poverty?
