Activists Demand Food Justice in King Charles's Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh
==========
Activists from the group This Is Rigged staged a sit-in at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh to demand lower baby formula prices and the establishment of community food hubs. The sit-in took place on February 19, 2024, and saw nine individuals bypassing security to make their demands heard. The activists settled in the royal dining room and called for supermarkets to roll back baby formula prices to March 2021 levels and for the Scottish Government to commit to a community food hub for every 500 households. The protest highlights the issues of food justice and sustainability and sparks a broader conversation about food affordability and systemic changes. The activists' actions challenge the status quo and emphasize the need for dialogue and action on food affordability and justice in Scotland.
