You see, you come close to getting it in your first paragraph.
Telling someone who's hungry and can't afford food - just eat.
Don't you see how callous that is? If a friend came to you and asked to talk would you just shout "speak to a therapist"?
It's lazy because it's one word and obvious. It's callous because it makes no attempt to help the person.
The solution to hunger remains to eat. The question how to procure food is then the follow up. But OP didnt ask that. He asked how to still the hunger.
I told my pharmacist that I had been feeling low energy and lethargic ever since starting adderall and asked if she had any suggestions. She said I needed to eat more food, and suggested I use MyFitnessPal to track my calories and make sure I was getting enough.
