Teach a Man To Fish II (The Business and Backward Thinking)

Just how corporate greed stole from people trying to make an honest living via selling produce (for example cotton farmers in India and the 300,000 farmers who lost their battle against Monsanto); lives can be given back if they can heal the soil and grow on it again.  Imagine people growing their food and selling it to willing buyers like me.  Good farmers are highly in demand right now because there are so many trying to avoid things like GMOs and conventional milk.  People want high quality food and are willing to spend more on it than on conventional food that contains empty calories and toxins.

So my question is why are we a nation who is so focused on giving people fish, when there are many who are fully equipped and willing to give others what they need to learn how to fish?

 "Give a man a fish and he won't starve for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he won't starve for his entire life." -Origin Unknown
