Absolutely right.
I have a friend who's an infant school teacher in a S. London area that has a lot of deprivation. She takes 4 pints of milk in to school for the little ones who have "tummy ache" in the morning. She goes through the usual "have you been to the toilet?" type questions, but she knows that, overwhelmingly, their tummy ache is probably because they had no food the night before.
She asks if they'd like a piece of fruit, gives them an apple or a banana and a glass of milk. From her own pocket.
People decrying breakfasts at schools have no idea of the number of regions where children are literally going to bed with nothing to eat in the evening.
I don't give a monkey's about what you think about their parents. No child deserves to starve, no matter who their parents are or how they behave.
