Why is it that in my country, the budget for food is prioritized over everything else? It confuses me, as education and job creation should be prioritized. There are even ministers who say that the budget for food is more urgent than job creation. Logically, having a job means earning money, and that money is used to buy nutritious food. Why not give them a fishing rod, instead of just giving them fish? That just wastes the budget every day.

You would think that people would buy nutritious food when they have a job but sadly this is not the case.
People don't get fat eating nutritious food yet we have an obesity crisis and most of the people concerned have jobs.
Kids don't get enough nutritious food, that's why so many of them are fat and lazy

Indeed, this is a common problem today. With so much fast food and drink available, it poses a risk of disease, even if nutritious food is available from family or government sources.
The real issue is the budget disparity in this country. For example, a teacher only receives about $12 a month, while a food washer earns $178 a month. Imagine how much bigger it is, right? I'm not a teacher.
Furthermore, there are incentives for each kitchen manager, around $350 per day. Imagine that per day multiplied by thousands of kitchen managers, just do the math. Yet, many school buildings are in disrepair, teacher welfare is lacking, and other issues arise.

@Ineeddentures I don't know how this could happen. That's why I wrote the above article. Actually, many have criticized the government's policy, but as usual, it's not been responded to or even heard at all.

Why does a teacher only get such a small amount?
