    Did you not read the previous comments? The context includes “I never give the homeless money, but I often buy them food.” and also the idea of being a cashless society.

    Some people give the homeless money because the homeless person doesn’t have any, and if you give them a couple dollars they can get something to eat. I don’t have to explain charity, I hope.

      Again. Why would I give a homeless person money for food, if I can just give them food?

        Perhaps you have money on you, but no food. You may be in a place where food cannot be readily purchased (eg: a subway train).

          I won’t have money on me, I don’t carry cash, as previously stated. In a case like that I would give the homeless person nothing. I have no obligation to help people.
