A report out today reveals that the cost of food is crippling the poorest households in the UK. Research from supermarket chain Morrisons, found that 5.2 million households spend 15.5 % or more of their total weekly outgoings on food and non alcoholic drinks alone. This leaves them struggling to heat their home, clothe their families or meet their other regular outgoings.

And it is set to get even worse.
