You could do more than just share food, you could teach them how to gain their own food, which would have more lasting effects, which is the point I'm trying to convey in regards to everlasting effects.
Again, utility, not morality.
In my case, I've never gone hunting, I have next to no experience gardening and I'm a terrible fisherman. I don't have the skills to teach anyone food gathering skills. I can't teach someone to gather food in the wild.
God has and is giving us all we need in order to solve the worlds problems(he's taught some to fish and continues to teach others to fish). So it's not a matter of neglect, but rather time, love and patience.
So if I had expert food gathering skills, and attempted to teach someone how to hunt, but they were struggling with it would it not be better to supply them with all the food I could until they no longer needed it?
