I’m not in a position to tell if someone can afford to eat. They might look like they’re employed or be dressed expensively, but people can fall on hard times suddenly
So I’m not going to report anyone for anything except crimes against individuals
In modern society, stealing is almost never “to live”, and even when it is, there are many other options to get food.
Also, stealing is unethical either way, the question is whether that unethical action can be morally justified in the balance (due to the alternative being more objectionable).
On a grand scale: That’s what states are for.
On a personal scale: If states let people go hungry, don’t make their life harder than it already is, don’t be an asshole.
Yes stealing food is unethical. If someone steals your food you should take it right back off them.
That’s why I do all my shoplifting at the duopoly stores that are currently under government investigation for wage theft and price gouging… and not the community grocer who isn’t stealing from the public.

Letting people starve is worse, throwing food and faking shortages to raise prices should be punished by death.
I agree as long as the death part is a joke

how is stealing from a corporation unethical exactly.
What if they are stealing from a mom and pop farmers market?
