    I mean, I’d not want my kids living off a diet of hyper-sugary foods. Feeding seems like the wrong verb. Entertaining? Something more niche that means just that thing where you give sweets to kids. Is there a verb for that?

        ‘is when the community comes together to feed your kids for free’ it’s not about feeding, I think there’s a better phrasing. Sorry if that confused you, I rarely express myself well

        Also I downvoted you out of spite because I didn’t think I deserved a downvote and I am a bitter, bitter man

      Yeah, perhaps feeding is not the best choice of word here. But I’d suggest this is not a good context to challenge that choice of word, because it kind of muddies the waters of what is being discussed. Like, are you trying to say that the neighbours actually didn’t do a good thing, and then make a comment about socialism based on that? Probably that’s not what you mean; but like I said, it muddies the waters.
