Well, in the real world you have to make choices:

1 - Continue to allow unstructured homeless feeding. Homeless continue to lose out on benefits of structured feeding.

2 - Make unstructured homeless feeding illegal. Homeless get benefits of structured feeding, but it clashes with our morals and ideas of personal liberties.

3 - Discourage unstructured homeless feeding without violating restricting anyone's rights.

In an ideal world, you would chose option #3. However, we don't have that option, at least to the best of our knowledge. If we had such option, we would see a report from some place that tried and succeeded... Therefore by rejecting option #2 you are by default promoting option #1, that is prolonging pain and suffering in the name of superior morals.
