I think it works perfectly. Many people have no concept just how many foodbanks we have but they are aware of loads of McDonald's.
By your first reaction you clearly didn't believe it either.

Bloody hell. If it goes on like this we will have workhouses like in Oliver.

Do you think everyone using them needs to or are they a way to subsidise other parts of people's lifestyle?
I'm not saying they are by the way but it's a possibility.

Germany has 930 Foodbanks so less than half UK
They also have a larger population 83 million
Vs our 66 million.

Absolutely everything is a possibility.
Not sure that really guides intelligent debate though.

BBC so not to be accused of quoting some Right wing rag 2019
Claim: There are more food banks in Germany than there are in the UK.
Verdict: We have not been able to find any evidence to support this claim. According to available statistics, Germany has about 2,000 food distribution centres - the same as the UK.
Short presentational grey line
As Labour launched its election campaign on Tuesday, party leader Jeremy Corbyn pledged to end food-bank use within five years.
Speaking on the BBC's Politics Live programme afterwards, Paul Scully, Conservative Party deputy chairman and candidate for Sutton, Cheam and Worcester Park, said: "There's more in Germany than there are in the UK."
Is this true?
Food banks provide food to those who may otherwise go hungry - and the number of parcels handed out has climbed in recent years.
Labour wants to make sure people don't need them any more. Mr Scully said the Conservatives also "want to make sure that people have less need for them, certainly, but you can't just ban them".
There are 2,000 food-bank locations in the United Kingdom, according to a House of Commons briefing paper published in October.

Again a flawed argument to suit your agenda, fewer food banks yes but twice as many individuals could be using them.

It was widely reported in the MSM a later part of last year ! I best not say too much about it or our resident SJW might label me a Racissssst
In June 2020, the Labour Behind the Label campaign group published its evidence on conditions in some of Leicester's garment factories. The report exposed Dickensian working conditions, where people making clothes primarily for online retailer Boohoo were being paid as little as £2.50 per hour – the national minimum wage is currently £9.30 – and given no adequate protection from Covid-19.
The following month, Anti-Slavery International, along with a number of organisations, sent a letter to Home Secretary Priti Patel calling for urgent government action to ensure that workers are protected from unscrupulous employers, and for brands to ensure that they are sourcing their garments responsibly. The government has since promised an investigation. While we welcome the announcement, we and our partners will keep up the pressure to ensure that the investigation:
