@ChrisMayLA6 Nothing new under the sun. Sweden had this problem in the 70s, I think the politicians discovered that workers ate too badly or not at all. So they launched "Rikskuponger" which where a coupon system you could buy food for, but nothing else. It was also not a taxable benefit.
I don't if it alone solved the problem, but I do remember them from my youth. Everyones, parents used to get them at work, and give them to their children from time to time to buy a meal at a restaurant.

Yes, the UK had the same problem at the end of the C19th & in the 1930s, and during the 70s too.... its a recurrent issue, unsurprisingly
@ChrisMayLA6 The older I get, the less new issues there seem to exist. ;)
