After I have delivered the week's supply of produce for my customers, and have saved a portion for myself and my WWOOFers to eat, I try (though not always successfully) to invite the 'hungry' to the farm for fresh food. If they are able-bodied, I have them work for a little bit and I do what I can to teach them about subsistence agriculture. Those who are unable are free to stop by each week for a meal, as well as a variable portion of the week's harvest.
Nothing wrong with bringing people closer back to the farm. That's a good thing indeed, as is eating better, and preserving skill sets like cooking, baking, and preserving, all which if you have thumbs and can out one foot in front of the other is more than within our abilities. We've just become so lazy and addicted to convenience that most think it's akin to magic tricks.

You must not be thinking clearly tonight. It's pretty obvious I was complimenting you. No woman would ever want to leave you. Because, you know, you're such a winner and all.....
You really aren't all there tonight. What does that situation have to do with what was earlier discussed?

I would say that the overwhelming majority of those on welfare do not see it as a career, but instead use it to help put food in their stomach.
Maybe so, but the ones who do choose that career path piss errbody off. Know what I mean?
Here's a family that couldn't feed itself, but knew every last codicile of every welfare program available.
If you haven't seen that movie, check it out. It's hard to choose which scene is most poignant: The one where the mother has to go to rehab before she can see her newborn, or the one where a 17 Y/O gets sent to the pokey for murder 1.
They all knew the system inside and out like Gibson knows how to build guitars.
