You need to do something about that policies, forcing you to work sick.
The problem will take care of itself: get sick and die, have kids starve... now they're no longer hungry, problem solved! /s
I raised this exact point to a relative on a similar issue (people on the road during a major blizzard).
That said, there are many jobs where you don't need to be there in person. Saying "if you feel sick stay home" (or similar) should be encouraged as it's necessary to enforce this expectation that if you can stay home, you should.
because your kids are hungry
