It sucks, especially when she drags other people into it. I was thinking about this a lot lately with her latest "campaign", which largely seems to consist of shouting that people will starve to death and that buying cheap products, meal planning etc are intensely difficult - far beyond the capabilities of the average person - and ultimately futile, because starvation is just around the corner.
The thing is, well, people in rich countries in western Europe don't tend to starve to death. There's a reason Jack has a list of names - those people made the news, precisely because their cases were unusual. What's more, there are always underlying conditions that made these people especially vulnerable; in many cases, these are MH-related, as the people actually died by suicide.
Now imagine having a public platform and using it to tell vulnerable people, over and over again, that they are going to starve to death, that the government wants them dead, that there are no solutions for them. This is not just callous in the extreme, it's also incredibly irresponsible.
Jack could use her platform to highlight resources - lists of food banks, explanations of how different projects work that can be daunting (those food banks require a referral, but these ones don't. This one you can only use three times, but here's a Sikh temple that will feed you every day etc etc), descriptions of apps like Too Good To Go, community initiatives that have been set up to help people...
In the absence of bigger picture MH service reform, these vulnerable people need clear, simple signposts. They need to be told that yes, they CAN access food, and here's how. Instead, they get Jack Monroe gleefully bleating about how the Tories are killing them. It's sick.
.....spent weeks in my local library going through microfiche data of rateable values of properties in my local area! 
I sometimes call it poll tax (I’m quite proud I moved on from “rates”), for full disclosure of my maverick non ADHD forensic puppy brain, I also sometimes call GCSEs, O’levels, year 11, 5th year and snickers marathons…I know what I mean
