My point was that most people have sense enough to sit down and work this out for themselves, and so there is no need for a system.
JC was very clever in using this example in hoping to rustle Cameron.
The current format worked well as a one-off, however as long as this polite politics continues, Cameron will just pat everything back with his prepared response "blah blah blah blah but you can't have a strong NHS without a strong economy".

I agree this would be a sensible compromise.

I would guess the food available at food banks would be better than McDonalds/domino's/etc, which if you're a family on the poverty line would be the potential trade off.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about the Swedish welfare can clarify this if I'm wrong, but as a country that is seen as liberal and progressive, my understanding is the poorest people's welfare entitlement is part-paid my food vouchers, so they are given vouchers they can exchange for fresh food.
How would people react to this type of system in this country as an alternative to food banks?
