Anyone who has skimmed the news will have seen the food parcel, supposedly worth £30, said to have been delivered to a family who can't currently claim the support of free school meals.
And anyone who thinks a loaf, three yoghurts, a can of beans, a small handful of dubious looking fruit and veg, a portion of dried pasta and some skinny cheese slices will feed two primary-aged children for a week to 10 days wants to come and hang out in my kitchen when homeschool cuts for lunch.

They might also want to sit there around 8am, mid-morning, mid-afternoon, when school work finishes and any time in the hour preceding bedtime when my son and daughter, aged seven and nine, will tell me they're positively starving and in need of something to eat.
Our food bills, and the amount of fruit, veg and other snacks our children would happily munch through each day whilst not in their classroom, have both rocketed with each lockdown.
Families entitled to the support of free school meals for their offspring, who don't currently have children in school to take them up, are it seems either receiving food vouchers or in the case of Twitter user Roadside Mum - a food 'hamper' provided by a company contracted to deliver such a service.
According to the government website, schools can claim to be reimbursed up to £15 per eligible FSM pupil per week.
Now having studied the image of the food being shared, and looked at others like it when fellow parents followed suit, I think it's safe to say that 'hamper' is perhaps stretching it and, as a parent, I was disheartened to think that anyone can possibly think it meets the needs of a growing, primary school-aged child. (Not to mention one currently expected to have the energy and focus to sit indoors each day and motivate themselves for home learning.)
And that's without even getting into whether the choice of items represents good value for the taxpayer - even if you subtract warehouse, delivery or staffing costs - which one might argue has to be factored into the budget.
But armed with my own £30 I tackled the supermarket today with an element of determination to prove that what we appear to be handing out to the nation's youngest generation isn't acceptable.
