Letter: Are family diets going back to the 1920s?

Letter: The other day my wife and I went to a local Chinese takeaway. Before us were a mother and three young children. They ordered chips and gravy for the whole family. Not a great meal for a Saturday night.

We have countless food programmes showing what we could have and what is good for you.

Countless times we've been to a restaurant and cafe and seen food left on plates wasted.

There are people today receiving food handouts.

I know we are going through hard times, but no-one in our society should have a meal of gravy and chips. Or are we really going back to the 1920s and 30s.
