Affordable healthy diet

Which is clearly working well now isn't it.

No one needs it because someone else will look after their kids. Having kids might even turn them a profit.
That's the point

They also didn't have free and effective contraception.

The free contraception is funded by taxation obtained by violence, so is morally tainted.

You clearly don't have any if you think benefits would cover the cost of them and leave you with a profit. They might help you jump the queue for a council house but that's about it.

I'm sure you already know how I'd respond to that, but otherwise...

That's like outlawing selling cough medicine as a loss leader because muppets will start downing that instead proper booze. It doesn't address the cause of the problem.

When you go to the doctor with an illness do they only treat the cause, or the symptoms too to alleviate your suffering?

They don't care unless you have medical cover.

When people who are skint with bad diets get some money you don't see them head down the delicatessen to get some fresh fruit and veg, they will invariably stuff their faces with high fat, low quality processed tulipe.

The problem is that most folk don't have a fookin' clue what is a healthy diet but as with so many other problems the idea that you can chuck money it and it will go away is pushed as the solution.

What's that got to do with anything? Sponsoring their bastard kids costs the taxpayer more.
I think there would almost certainly (perhaps about 99.9%!) be charitably funded free contraception anyway. But that's besides the point.

Sure, but when the doctor gives me some cream for my poxed penis he doesn't have everyone else chemically castrated to spare them the same fate should they go sticking it here and there without the necessary due diligence.

Well I shall be having lamb with a middle eastern flavoured salad, not cheap but not especially expensive at about £7, and I might get two helpings out of that. I could probably afford to eat on my PIP but I'd struggle to pay for parking at the hospital as well.

I know (unfortunately) several people who don't work, didn't work, and now are better off with 3 kids. It's pretty common - i'm not sure where your objection comes from.
