The key point is that the Government can always find money to help business and subsidise the reasonably prosperous with half-price eating out.

But the hungry children of the poor?

No.

If the government didn't help these businesses out, they wouldn't be able to feed the poor starving children.

Virtue signalling at its best.

It really is not.

If many poor prioritised healthy eating over phones,tv etc...children would not starve.

 

[durhamplumber]

It really is not.

I think it is...

 

[Notch7]

Yes I noticed a "" hungry mother "" on tv news this week....She was about 20stone.

One fat person proves there are no people in food poverty

Give yer head a shake dude

You are entitled to your own stupid opinion.

During lockdown, the local school had about 3 kids partaking in the scheme. If these restaurants can afford to give free meals away, then they obviously wont be taking any furlough payments now, or in the future.

You were told wrong. Protein, vitamins and minerals are almost exactly the same, they are lower in whole milk as the fat takes up some of the volume.

Not according to the table in your own link, they're not. Some are more abundant in whole milk, than in reduced fat varieties.

Like I've posted before, there are few wins about this, only minimising the defeats.

Eat Out got people with some disposable income to put it back into the economy, some of which went in wages to the relatively - low paid waiting staff.
Certainly when we partook, I tipped much more generously than I normally would have done. Which is again to the good of the staff.

Are you advocating food parcels or similar for hungry children then?

Many fat people does though Notcheous.And benefits are adequate to feed oneself and children...Give thine eyeballs a polish and smell the coffee whilst you are on.A fat lass whinging about lack of food is lieing .indicative her calorie intake is not lacking. Dopy.Go on..tell me all fat people have dodgy glands etc which make them store calorifies,even without eating them.

I think I actually said food for the children of the poor which may not be the same thing.

I really don't know why the Conservatives chose this particular thing to have a fight on.

It's not a great look politically.

Perhaps it displays unthinking assumptions?

Cummings runs a tight ship, and disobedience is not tolerated

Nicky Morgan suggests Tories voted against free school meals in revenge For 'Scum' comment.

I have no way of knowing if she was telling the truth.

Very bad show if she was.

She also suggested that opposition parties should have been trying to build a coalition in Parliament. I don't believe that is on offer.

By you perhaps!.....What an outrageous suggestion. that you might be wrong.

I think I actually said food for the children of the poor which may not be the same thing.

I actually said "food parcels or similar", although I could have expanded that to suggestions as below.

Would you commit to a straight answer then?
Would any of the below be a suggestion you would advocate?

Vouchers?
Food deliveries?
Food parcels?
A booking at a restaurant, with the tab picked up by taxpayer (although this would be Eat Out, on steroids)/ council / charity / A.N. Other?

Or do you have something else in mind, that you would be willing to put forward?
