The poorest families bit is the narrator contrasting the socio-economic and political status of the Zhou people and those they conquered.
Baike's commentary on the last stanza says something about how even the "sky" was serving the Zhou dynasty to squeeze the Eastern people.
Baike says nothing useful about the first stanza though. My interpretation is that even though the food is there, it's all going to the Zhou people (via this nice flat road)?
