He's still at school - and legislation doesn't relate to what goes on a plate I assure you.
It's worse now he's in senior school but he loves all the pizza and nachos.

As for the usual complaint of ''stigma'' attached to providing coupons as the usual excuse not to be paid in cash ? surely during this time where many are in danger of losing their job due to the pandemic, this certainly doesn't apply anymore.

There were various stories throughout national media too.
It just goes to show how desperately food is needed (as in not at all) and yet the do-gooders ignore this.

I note that you're now back-tracking to "any food is better" in preference to your "nutricious food" assertion.
It's all moot anyway.
The sheer amount of noise will make sure things change even though commonsense dictates there is no real need.
No doubt any change will be condemned too in one way or another; it's another "lose/lose" situation - and a pro. footballer and his "pet" BBC journo are responsible for not just whatever added debt to the economy this farce accrues but also for increasing the nanny state!

cabbage and taters !! The only difference between us and Oliver
Twist was, we didnt ask for more??
