Cases of malnutrition among both children and adults have been confirmed in various different areas of England, including hotels in London and in the south-west. In some areas health professionals have started weighing children at the hotels who have become dangerously thin and in need of frequent monitoring.

I just can’t get my head around how people allow this to happen. Across every part of the chain from the MPs who set these policies to the people in the hotel serving the “food”.

Not to mention the general public.

It’s just so sad on every level
