Only if you're prepared to work for peanuts. People doing these jobs, even skilled workers, often have to rely on food banks to eat. :(

@Sharon People don't know how to manage their money and tell everyone can't afford to buy food. There are many jobs where I live but my friend prefers to live on benefit rather than working.
I know people who get pay minimum wage but they have never complained about no food to eat.

@Arrow17 Actually, in some case, benefits can be greater than what they could earn. Have you heard of the "gig economy" or "zero hours contracts"? Those people supposedly have jobs but are often given no work to do so don't get paid.
Some skilled workers are not paid enough to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads. They also have other "necessities" such as school uniforms to pay for. Figures of £500 - £700 per child at secondary school aren't unusual.
I suspect you have a very well paid job or some other source of a sizeable income. Not everyone is as fortunate. :(
