Would you be prepared to be paid in food as opposed to cash? Stop with this notion that food is a subsidy to income.

And what on earth does 'orphan crushing machine' mean? I don't understand.
when I said income I meant wealth, the ability to feed yourself etc, and not necessarily disposable cash. you have also missed the point being made - why is it ok to receive benefits but not parcels from foodbanks? or let me put it another way, why is the use of benefits seen as being acceptable when we know the use of foodbanks is not?

read up about the orphan crushing machine, its a well known trope on social media.
