Not that that isn't a great thing to do, but how does that help anyone overcome the limits on opportunity that poverty places on them?

Malnutrition can be one such limit of opportunity, if it harms development in childhood. It's also one of the easiest things to fix; giving children nutritional supplements and subsidized school lunches is pretty cheap and straightforward, compared to just about any other method of ameliorating poverty.
Ah, OK, I see what you're saying.
