I don't disagree. But that is not what I asked.

You, and a few others, make out that the use of food banks is bad but the use of benefits and the welfare state is good. In a wealthy nation such as the UK, the need for either is criminal. Successive governments of all colours have failed to address the problem, and once again we're back to the orphan crushing machine.
