I have also been wondering how anybody could possibly blame the government for this too. Then again, if in doubt, blame the government...
Parents have a responsibility to ensure that their children are cared for and eat healthily. The government are responsible for making sure that the poorest families can afford to feed their children, which in my opinion they have done.
All too often people blame the government for how their children turn out, undisciplined, obese etc. Children are the responsibility of their parents, if you don't want that kind of responsibility then don't have kids. There's no excuse for unwanted children these days.
