That's a small minority that has used a food bank at least once in 12 months. The number of people 'relying' on them has to be even lower. We also can't discount that some people could have bought food but chose the food bank instead because it is free.
My point was that writing 'many' suggests something common and widespread like if there were breadlines everywhere. It is not (but The Guardian likes to dramatise on this).
In fact, I suspect that poorer people in the UK have a much higher chance of being obese than of being actually hungry.
