That's right, the government will charge you £30 to send £5 of food to a family. They'll do this for as many families as they can, because who wouldn't when you can pocket 83% of the taxpayer's cash?Photos of free* school meal packages in the UK spark outrage online
Photos showing food packages being sent to school children in the UK who are currently learning remotely have sparked outrage online, with many calling the parcels "shameful," "cruel," and "disgraceful."
... The food parcels are supposed to contain the equivalent of £30 ($40) worth of food. Parents recently received a £30 voucher to cover food over the winter break, but during term time, food parcels are being distributed instead. But as @RoadsideMum pointed out, this parcel contains about £5 ($6) worth of food, mapping out the costs as if bought from supermarket chain Asda. This estimate was backed by Jack Monroe, the author of Tin Can Cook and activist known for campaigning about poverty, who replied agreeing "that’s about a fivers worth of food there."
Mashable added up a similar estimate for the same items from another chain, Sainsburys, for comparison, and the total amount came to just under £11 — and this was using full prices per kilogram of fruits and vegetables, not individual items...

*This shit ain't free, it was paid for by people who work
But you know ... kids are starving because Bezos has too much money, and because rich people just won't pay their "fair share". Maybe if the UK can jack taxes again the program will work this time. Maybe we need to spend £50 per family, so the kids will get £6 of food. Just remember - poor kids starve because enterprising entrepreneurs make money, not because the government is corrupt, the politicians are liars, and because citizens feel ok taking other people's wealth on account of "disparity".
Derp.
