Suffer, Little Children

The UK's 'cost of living crisis' has resulted in vegetable oil and pasta doubling in price in a single year. Rocketing increases in the costs of bread, chips and tea are not far behind. People are tempted to steal rather than let their families starve. It's a sign of very sad times, however, when a number of English COOP stores elect to keep baby formula milk behind their tills to discourage theft (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/feb/19/co-op-stores-in-england-put-baby-formula-behind-tills-to-deter-theft). Cigarettes and booze I can understand but formula baby milk!
