You can feed a family of 5 and oatmeal breakfast for a month for about $6 a month, are they telling us that these families are unable to do that ?  This is what we eat 5 days a week, we spurge on Saturdays and have pancakes (home made) which probably costs $5 on that day, so we are looking at about $15 per week. Tell these people to drop the cable, smart phones and Dutch Brothers.
