Hunger in the United Kingdom
Chronic hunger has affected a sizable proportion of the UK's population throughout most of its history. Hunger became less of a political issue in the second half of the twentieth century. However, food bank use started to grow in the 2000s, and has dramatically expanded. In December 2013, according to a group of Doctors and academics writing in The British Medical Journal, hunger in the UK had reached the level of a "public health emergency". The rise has been blamed on the 2008 recession as well as the austerity measures implemented afterwards. However, the OECD found that people answering yes to the question ‘Have there been times in the past 12 months when you did not have enough money to buy food that you or your family needed?’ decreased from 9.8% in 2007 to 8.1% in 2012, leading some to say that the rise was due to both more awareness of food banks, and the government allowing Jobcentres to refer people to food banks when they were hungry (the previous Labour government had not allowed this).
The UK has seen several changes in prevailing attitudes to the problem of hunger and its relief. In the early 19th century, a view arose that it was counter productive to assist those suffering from hunger; rather people should be left to fend for themselves, which would help them become more self-sufficient and would also assist the free market to deliver prosperity. By the early 20th century this way of thinking had been largely displaced by the humanitarian view that Britons have a moral duty to help the hungry when they are able.
