You say, with a totally straight face, "No, you won't."

And if/when they do, give them that old worn-out crappy fishing pole from a garage sale, and point them to the nearest body of water.

Keeps their expectations down, you save your food, and you can feed them too. Personally, I'd rather give them a means of getting their own food than giving away mine.
