Food bank food often insufficient

Two-thirds of the people who depend for their nutrition on food banks do not always have enough or healthy enough food, according to research from the Free University in Amsterdam. The content of food packages is often not varied enough, concludes researcher Judith Neter.

Especially women do not get enough healthy food, they rather give their portions to their husbands or children.

Neter blames the food industry for throwing away lots of good food, while the food banks are desperate for it. She also finds that agriculture makes available too little vitamin-rich products.
