  • BRITAIN-INFLATION-FOOD-EDUCATION<br>Children eat during lunch-break at St Mary's RC Primary School, in Battersea, south London, on November 29, 2022. - With UK inflation hovering around the highest level in four decades, triggering a cost-of-living crisis, children are increasingly bringing cheaper food from home, in some cases donated. Children in England whose families are deemed by the government to be the poorest are entitled to a free school meal. At 48 percent of pupils, St Mary's has one of the highest proportions in Britain entitled to a taxpayer-funded lunch. (Photo by Daniel LEAL / AFP) (Photo by DANIEL LEAL/AFP via Getty Images)
