Yes I thought this! It’s ridiculously mean spirited and unfair to assume that the vouchers will always be abused, but it’s also very naive to assert that they never ever have been either. They’re not some kind of silver bullet.
I have a friend who bought her children coats with the vouchers. They needed them, she had the vouchers, and she had enough food that week. That was, IMO, a perfectly responsible and reasonable choice to make. It’s still categorically not what the vouchers were for, though. That means that yes, there is a chance they can be used for things other than lunches, and no not everyone will be so responsible.
Jack seems to think that the only research she needs to do is listening to her Twitter followers’ personal experiences. This is why she just shouts and stomps, she finds things that fit her narrative, discards the rest, and has no substance or evidence of anything she’s saying.
My school’s boxes are apparently wonderful, I’ve seen three different pictures of them. Nice fresh produce, more pasta, bread, and potatoes than my kids could eat in five days, and plenty of ingredients to make proper hot meals. To me it looked like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Has Jack come across any good ones at all? Has she asked? Or just being the ghoul that she is, as usual, looking only for some misery and negativity to ride on.
