Re: £190 one off payment for mum's to be

eating healthily does cost more than not doing, i noticed this when trying to lose weight and eating more low fat foods and more veg and fruit. Although if my memories working, if a person is claiming certain benefits then they get the healthy start vouchers during pregnancy (they can use these to buy fresh milk, fruit and veg) Am not against it being handed out, expecially that it is not restriced to people on benefits etc, it is for everyone, it makes a nice change for all to receive something and for it not to be restricted. You do see so many comments that "they dont qualify because they are working / not claiming the correct benefits" etc, everyone who is pregnant qualify for this but yet people still complain (yeah, mainly men lol)
