People in the UK aren't just hungry for food...
They're hungry for justice!
Emma Revie, the CEO of the Trussell Trust, says that food banks are a symptom of a problem, not the solution.
We have two choices when it comes to poverty in the UK: to treat it as if it is an individual tragedy or a problem with our social safety net.
This net holds us all.
Quote of the episode: "We need to stop thinking of poverty as an individual issue and start thinking of it as structural.”
Bonus quote: "We know what drives people to food banks. We can end the need."
