And once again, pure ignorance. You don't know her medical history, she could've been more over weight, skipping meals is actually bad for weight loss as it lowers your metabolism, skipping meals is bad for health and makes bingeing on sugar later more likely. Grow up Julia

It’s cheaper to cook from scratch than buying frozen or microwave food .

Actually that's only the case if you can afford to buy several ingredients, then can cook them and then store the leftovers eg fridge/freezer. Many are fuel poor too, so can't cook or have a fridge/freezer. It's cheaper long term to buy in bulk and store but many can't...

...afford to do that and have to buy food only when they have money. Also, schools don't always teach to cook/budget which doesnt help. Plus studies have shown that poverty makes people less able to make good choices- as opposed to the other way around which is assumed.

I can donate a treadmill. Maybe we need treadmill banks for over indulged food banks. What I would like to know is how many users of Food banks like Alcohol, cigs & Sky TV subscriptions.

If she did more skipping it might help her.

I'm guessing you're commenting on weight? Obesity is a symptom of a poor diet, which is a result of poverty. It's far more common among the poor in western countries than among the well off. It's easier to keep weight off when you have access to good, varied, nutritional food.

Julia, outside of your champagne social circle there is a world ground to dust by your elitist political rhetoric. I’m glad you find suffering & poverty funny on top of abusing a 16 year autistic girl. An example to conservatism you are indeed.
