They only way my kids would be under-fed is if I was first on the brink of death from starvation.
Way back when I was young and dumb, my wife's grand mother was telling my wife and me about her child that starved to death during the depression. They lived in the boonies, had no neighbors and no food and no other resources, the baby died.
I, stupidly, asked her. "Why didn't you breast feed the baby"? She replied with a tear rolling down her face, "I was starving too, I didn't have any breast milk".
I didn't question her further but it occurred to me that possibly she wasn't able to ask for charity because of the common belief among some then, that you just never ask for charity, it just wasn't done for any reason. I don't know if that was the case, I hope not.
