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.
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).
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
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.
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?
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.
