The conversation about food parcels and free school meals is an emotive one, but it misses the point.
It's not about value. It's about an ideological distrust of and disdain for the poor, from the people ruling the country.
Sobering stuff.

I suspect the real question should be:
"Why do you live in a country where a company can see money intended to feed hungry kids, and thinks 'We can grab well over half of that', and why do you have a government that abets such behaviour?"
