Food poverty is on the rise in rich countries, and evidence suggests that the impact can last for years
Kerry Wright didn't feel hungry. Not in the way you might expect. Her tummy grumbled, yes, she could hear it. She just couldn't feel it. She called it"starvation mode". Wright, a mother of three living in Aberdeen, had hit a low point. But she needed to provide for her children, who then were just entering their teens.
Because there was always so little to go round, it didn't take long before she started skipping meals. She was tired all the time -- and yet she couldn't sleep. She was hungry, but she didn't want to eat, and, if she did, she would sometimes be sick. Her head was frazzled. It was hard to keep a string of thoughts together. Wright was exhausted but desperate not to reveal the extent of her fatigue to her children.
And meeting her at CFINE, I get a sense that Wright, like her friend Kelly Donaldson, has found a role that doesn't just help her in the here and now -- it's something she can build on.Donaldson points out how Wright is clearly happier now. She gets up every day. Puts her make-up on. Goes to work. That makes a huge difference -- for the whole household."It does," says Wright."It has an impact on your children."
