How can the one who is unable to fast feed poor people as a ransom ( substitute ) for fasting?

It may be done in either ways:To make food and to invite the poor to eat, or to distribute the food on the poor whether it is cooked or not
Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :
{ [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew. }
