All the strategies people can employ to alleviate their health inequality/state of mind in the face of grinding poverty are fine for a few days, or weeks, or months. The 2 mile walk to the supermarket with kids and shopping, the homegrown bits and bobs, the daily shopping of marked down veg and meats etc etc.

But every day in poverty, 365 days a year, every year, with no real sense of anything being truly changeable saps the will.
