English: This is a terribly timely debate as we are in the grips of what is already a difficult winter. Citizens Advice figures show that one in five people have already cut back on their food shop in the last three months to save money. One in 10 anticipate having to access crisis support this winter, like foodbanks or fuel vouchers. Crisis support, that is, to help them have things that they need to stay alive, because food isn't a luxury, it's a fundamental necessity. I'd like to focus a little on the mental health toll taken by hunger, because hunger doesn't just mark people physically, it isn't only measured in stunted growth or empty bellies; hunger starves people of happiness, it warps their self-esteem and it eats away at their potential. Hunger traps people in panic and distress as the constant worry about where the next meal is going to come from weighs down on a person's state of mind. It scars people psychologically and it can trigger exhaustion, embarrassment, guilt and shame. This is a reality faced by frightening numbers of people in Wales. The 'Food Security in Wales' report showed that a fifth of our population worried about running out of food. In the past 12 months, 14 per cent of our population had run out of food before they could afford to buy more. Now, this debate focuses on the right to food, and along with food I'd package in the right to dignity and a life free from the worry about food. As the Trussell Trust's Susan Lloyd-Selby has said, no-one should face the indignity of needing emergency food. But too often in our society, poverty is instead paraded almost as a punishment. Let's cast our minds back to last year, when the societal debate around free school meals in England made headlines, and pictures of the measly portions afforded to children in some local authorities were shared on social media. We saw halved peppers in clingfilm, handfuls of tuna or pasta in paltry little plastic bags. It seemed for all the world as though the people putting the packages together must have been instructed to limit any chance that other people in the child's family could benefit from those packages. Why else put in part of a vegetable, or open a tin of tuna and scoop out only half? It would have taken an effort to be that cruel. It would have taken time to methodically measure the exact amount of compassion and support that was afforded to each child with those parcels, limiting everything, keeping a cap on that kindness. And what message did it send? Because free school meals and food generally isn't just about nutrition. As important as that is, it should also be about a sense of plenty, of not scraping through and getting just enough to just about manage. It should be about delighting in food - not gorging or gluttony, but having enough, feeling complete. Our relationships with food are complicated. It can be a comfort when there's enough, but it can be a menace and a torment when there isn't. The children's future food inquiry quotes Siobhan Clifford, a headteacher, in saying that children tell you about 'pains in their stomachabout going to bed hungryheadachestirednessand the distorted relationship with food that that creates'. Some children end up stealing food from the bins that other children have thrown away. There shouldn't be that dividing line that sets out that some people can have more food than they need whilst others struggle to be sustained. Environmentally, economically, socially and morally it makes no sense. It results perversely in both food waste and wanton food scarcity. Those children stealing from bins. Dirprwy Lywydd, we need to look at our supply chains, create an affordable, sustainable food system fit for future generations, supporting local markets, co-operatives, community retailers, processors, distributors that work together to ensure high quality food standards. But whilst we're developing those supply chains, let's look as well at the links that bind us, the stock we keep of decency. No-one should go to bed hungry or driven to despair through worrying about where their meals come from. In twenty-first century Wales or in any country, it's a blight that shouldn't exist.
Welsh: Mae hon yn ddadl ofnadwy o amserol gan ein bod yng nghrafangau gaeaf anodd eisoes. Mae ffigurau Cyngor ar Bopeth yn dangos bod un o bob pump o bobl eisoes wedi torri'n ôl ar eu siopa bwyd yn ystod y tri mis diwethaf i arbed arian. Mae un o bob 10 yn rhagweld y bydd yn rhaid cael cymorth argyfwng y gaeaf hwn, fel banciau bwyd neu dalebau tanwydd. Cymorth argyfwng, hynny yw, i'w helpu i gael pethau y maent eu hangen i aros yn fyw, oherwydd nid moethusrwydd yw bwyd, ond anghenraid sylfaenol. Hoffwn ganolbwyntio ychydig ar yr effaith a gaiff newyn bwyd ar iechyd meddwl, oherwydd nid yn gorfforol yn unig y mae newyn yn effeithio ar bobl, nid yn unig drwy gyfyngu ar dwf pobl neu drwy stumog wag; mae newyn yn llwgu pobl o hapusrwydd, mae'n crebachu eu hunan-barch ac mae'n erydu eu potensial. Mae newyn yn caethiwo pobl mewn panig a gofid wrth i'r pryder cyson ynglŷn ag o ble y daw'r pryd nesaf bwyso ar gyflwr meddwl person. Mae'n creithio pobl yn seicolegol a gall sbarduno blinder, embaras, euogrwydd a chywilydd. Dyma'r realiti sy'n wynebu niferoedd brawychus o bobl yng Nghymru. Dangosodd adroddiad 'Food Security in Wales' fod un rhan o bump o'n poblogaeth yn poeni ynglŷn â rhedeg allan o fwyd. Yn ystod y 12 mis diwethaf, roedd 14 y cant o'n poblogaeth wedi rhedeg allan o fwyd cyn y gallent fforddio prynu mwy. Nawr, mae'r ddadl hon yn canolbwyntio ar yr hawl i fwyd, ac ynghyd â bwyd, byddwn yn cynnwys yr hawl i urddas a bywyd heb bryder am fwyd. Fel y dywedodd Susan Lloyd-Selby o Ymddiriedolaeth Trussell, ni ddylai neb wynebu'r diffyg urddas a ddaw yn sgil bod angen bwyd argyfwng. Ond yn rhy aml yn ein cymdeithas, yn lle hynny, mae tlodi'n cael ei ddarlunio bron fel cosb. Gadewch inni atgoffa ein hunain am y llynedd, pan oedd y ddadl gymdeithasol ynghylch prydau ysgol am ddim yn Lloegr yn y penawdau, a rhannwyd lluniau o'r dognau tila a roddwyd i blant mewn rhai awdurdodau lleol ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Gwelsom bupurau wedi'u torri yn hanner mewn cling ffilm, dyrnaid o diwna neu basta mewn bagiau plastig bach pitw. Roedd yn ymddangos i'r byd i gyd fel pe bai'r bobl a roddai'r pecynnau at ei gilydd wedi cael cyfarwyddyd i gyfyngu ar unrhyw obaith y gallai pobl eraill yng nheulu'r plentyn elwa o'r pecynnau hynny. Pa reswm arall dros roi rhan o lysieuyn, neu agor tun o diwna a thynnu dim ond ei hanner allan? Byddai wedi galw am ymdrech i fod mor greulon â hynny. Byddai wedi cymryd amser i fesur yn drefnus union faint o dosturi a chymorth a gâi pob plentyn gyda'r parseli hynny, gan gyfyngu ar bopeth, cadw cap ar y caredigrwydd hwnnw. A pha neges a roddai hynny? Oherwydd nid mater o faeth yn unig yw prydau ysgol a bwyd am ddim fel y cyfryw. Er mor bwysig yw hynny, dylai hefyd ymwneud ag ymdeimlad o ddigon, o beidio crafu byw a chael dim ond digon i allu ymdopi'n unig. Dylai ymwneud â chael mwynhad o fwyd - nid gorfwyta na thrachwant, ond cael digon, teimlo'n gyflawn. Mae ein perthynas â bwyd yn gymhleth. Mae'n gallu bod yn gysur pan fydd digon, ond gall fod yn fygythiad ac yn artaith pan nad oes digon. Mae'r ymchwiliad i fwyd plant yn y dyfodol yn dyfynnu Siobhan Clifford, pennaeth, sy'n dweud bod plant yn dweud wrthych am 'boenau yn eu stumog am fynd i'r gwely'n teimlo'n llwglyd cur pen blinder a'r berthynas wyrdroëdig â bwyd y mae hynny'n ei greu'. Mae rhai plant yn dwyn bwyd o finiau y mae plant eraill wedi taflu bwyd iddynt. Ni ddylid cael llinell sy'n rhannu rhwng pobl sy'n gallu cael mwy o fwyd nag sydd ei angen arnynt tra bod eraill yn ei chael hi'n anodd cael digon i'w cynnal. Yn amgylcheddol, yn economaidd, yn gymdeithasol ac yn foesol nid yw'n gwneud unrhyw synnwyr. Mae'n arwain yn wrthnysig at wastraff bwyd ac at brinder bwyd direswm. Y plant hynny sy'n dwyn o finiau. Ddirprwy Lywydd, mae angen inni edrych ar ein cadwyni cyflenwi, creu system fwyd fforddiadwy a chynaliadwy sy'n addas ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol, cefnogi marchnadoedd lleol, cwmnïau cydweithredol, manwerthwyr cymunedol, proseswyr, dosbarthwyr sy'n gweithio gyda'i gilydd i sicrhau safonau bwyd o ansawdd uchel. Ond tra byddwn yn datblygu'r cadwyni cyflenwi hynny, gadewch inni edrych hefyd ar y cysylltiadau sy'n ein rhwymo, y sylw a roddwn i urddas. Ni ddylai neb fynd i'r gwely'n llwglyd na chael eu gyrru i anobaith drwy boeni o ble y daw eu prydau bwyd. Yng Nghymru, neu mewn unrhyw wlad yn yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, mae'n falltod na ddylai fodoli.
