Rashford Joins Forces With UK’s Biggest Food Brands To Help Reduce Child Food Poverty, And You Can’t Help But Love Him

Marcus Rashford. Yes, that’s the news. I don’t know what else, but if I tell you that I’m super happy now, it’s because I’m chuffed with this hero who deserves nothing but praise for such humane gesture.

So, if my excitement will just not rid me of my work obsession, or why we’re here, then you might want to know. Rashford, in a bid to tackle childhood poverty, has gone as far as forming a taskforce with leading figures from the food industry in the United Kingdom, an unmistakably powerful fusion which will be geared towards coercing the MPs into making recommendations for three national food strategy policy. You can read that again.

For the millions who don’t have the platform to be heard…

* Expansion of free school meals to every child from a household on universal credit or equivalent, reaching an additional 1.5 million children aged between seven and 16.

* Increasing the value of the Healthy Start vouchers to £4.25 per week (from £3.10) and expanding into all those on universal credit or equivalent, reaching an additional 290,000 pregnant women and children under the age of four.

This is not the first time the 22-year-old would be pulling off an achievement of this magnitude as he had reportedly lobbied to success, the UK government during the lockdown to provide free school meals for children over the summer holidays. Man like Rashford.

“We had to think about the best way to do it, to think about how these families can eat long term and not have any issues.

“We wanted to do it the best way we
could, introduce the best people into our group, and see if using them [we] can push it even more.

”I feel like at times people think they are being looked down on if they ask for help, and I think in this generation… that is something that should change.”

You might not take this too serious (you’re not even obliged to) but this here is the real deal. I might not agree with some part of the humanist theory but I’m meant to understand that the luxury of being a super celeb comes with the responsibility of playing roles such like this.

Let’s face it, this is pretty impressive. Monumental even. There aren’t too many people in the UK (the Queen inclusive) who can lay claim to such a feat like this at the moment. You just have to admire the courage, the intrepidity this act radiates. It’s not just about scoring top bins in the Premier League after all, yeah?

You know what? If the currently crocked striker has won over a new fan, it is me. Hell yeah. And it helps that he is a Red Devil. Manchester United fans, perfect time to gloat. Get well soon, Rashy.
