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.
Let’s see… I’m starving and impoverished. I could steal some fresh, nutritious food or I could go to the food bank and have an expired can of creamed corn.
Well you could say a few or a couple dozen. But seeing you keep on doging the question I will assume you are just typing these comments for your own entertainment never having experienced food insecurity.
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.
Thats what food banks are for. Theft is illegal and unethical.
The only way you think stealing to live is unethical is if you value property more than life.

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?
i presume u are admitting that stealing from a corporation is ethical then?

You’re right, food bank.
Choosing beggar hypothetical.
Hypothetical? I take it you’ve never gotten food from a food bank.
Sounds a lot like projection… How many times have you gotten food from a food bank? Very curious to know 🙂
Let me go check my ‘how many times in my life have I eaten food from a food bank’ tally to make sure I have an accurate count and get back to you.
Ahh so you will avoid the question. Good one buddy
You asked me how many times and you don’t want an accurate number?
Well you could say a few or a couple dozen. But seeing you keep on doging the question I will assume you are just typing these comments for your own entertainment never having experienced food insecurity.
Have you? Every food bank I’ve been to has given fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.
