… making poor choices shouldn’t mean not eating, or watching one’s children go hungry… Yes, there are cheats playing the system. In a year at the food bank I’ve met two. Maybe 3, tops. There are consequences for the cheats when they are identified. The others? They’re people who are trying to keep the family together, to maintain some dignity for their kids, to be able to stay at a level where they can job hunt, to keep putting one foot ahead of the other for another day.
