Always has been. It only becomes a story when the contract or subject becomes political. Or for the opposition to score points against sitting government regardless of party No the story is the cronyism that allows contracts to be given to lobbyists and donors whether they're fit for purpose or not. That's the story...... That was the point I was trying to make by looking at what you could get for £5 from a budget supermarket and how much these firms are ripping off the government but every Tory matters

Where can you get a loaf of decent bread for 40p I smell bullshit. We only buy whole meal brown bread. Supermarket own brand not the savers range. And that’s 60p or more. Value brand white bread is probably the worse thing you can give someone to eat. The own brand bread brown or white is actually 39p a farmhouse style 65p the one in the box picture is smaller and of the same standard of the 39p loaf

According to the website it’s 49p I think the whole issue with school meals is strange. Until covid no government red or blue gave a fuck about meals outside school times. It’s a food industry problem as a whole. Unhealthy unsubstantial food is cheaper and easier so attractive to the lower income families Also massive problem with vouchers. Either that’s demeaning to push for some. A poster a while back highlighted that they were offered to everyone and he could use them as part payment For drink Never an easy solution. One thing is wrong is how school dinner contracts between councils schools and firms is shit and not fit for purpose.

One thing is wrong is how school dinner contracts between councils schools and firms is shit and not fit for purpose. The biggest problem society has with poverty and food isn’t kids starving but obesity. The former is rare, the latter very common. One problem we have is with so much attention placed on the former, the latter is ignored. Essex’s exercise demonstrates how it is possible to eat cheaply. It is also possible to eat cheaply and healthily. To do this requires a bit of effort - takeaways and processed food are, relatively, expensive and unhealthy. The problem is they are easy and convenient. We have to do more to encourage better dietary habits which includes buying raw material and cooking with it. That said - I’m off to get some pakora!

At Christmas I used the sun vouchers at lidl and also the lidl app voucher on both it said not including alcohol or baby formula and there system stopped the voucher working if you tried it is possible to issue a voucher with restrictions or just ask supermarkets to put together a list or box and issue a voucher for them to pick it up again cost effective On price I took the price off the shelf

Please stop it.

Catering companies don't buy their produce from supermarkets though.
They buy from wholesalers where you'd be surprised to learn the prices are often higher.
I work in the NHS and am often shocked at how much we pay for fresh produce compared with how much it is in supermarkets.
Wholesalers generally don't sell any products at a loss like supermarkets do.
As such, it's not an overly fair comparison.
Shows why the voucher scheme is much better though, gives the families greater buying power.

Granted cheese is the latest offer due to Covid for self employed workers, you have to pay it back unless the Chinese death sentence kills you first if not your surviving family will be liable for the cost.

It seems beggars CAN be choosers Bit harsh that matey, we should be looking after our own charity begins at home, we should be funding this by deporting all foreign prisoners, deporting all illegal immigrants, encouraging irresponsible parents from having more children than they can afford to pay for by altering benefit payments to two child limits, stopping legal aid for foreign nationals who have paid zero into the system, stop health tourism and stop foreign aid immediately if we have starving children in our own country we should do the decent morally right thing.

What about legal aid for British people who've paid nothing into the system? Also, the two child benefit limit would lead to more children ending up in poverty, wouldn't it?

If they reside in the UK possibly each case should be assessed and taken on merit.
As a responsible parent if you decide to have children you have a responsibility to fund their upbringing, you should not expect the tax payer to do the job for you, there are plenty of families who decide to have large families in order to gain maximum benefits from our out dated benefit system, if they choose to raise children in poverty that really is not the responsibility of the state.
