Even in the modern world, starvation and low nutrition among schoolchildren is a major problem. https://www.ted.com/talks/ann_cooper_talks_school_lunches

Better teach the people not to produce children if they can't nourish them.

What a horrible, ignorant, comment.
Look at the recent US drought - were people wrong to have had children ten years ago? How were they to know that some areas of the US were going to be in severe multi-year drought?
Why is it different if you change "the US" to some other part of the world?
Have a read of "Too Poor To Farm" which explains some of the problems very poor people face, and explains some of the reasons why very poor people have children.

Yes, throwing fish at the poorest is the right thing to do. Malnourished children grow with diminished intellectual capacity. Then it is too late to teach them to fish.
