Thats what food banks are for. Theft is illegal and unethical.

[-] webadict@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

The only way you think stealing to live is unethical is if you value property more than life.

[-] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago

how is stealing from a corporation unethical exactly.

[-] Trollception@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

What if they are stealing from a mom and pop farmers market?

[-] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] odium@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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.

You're right, food bank.

Choosing beggar hypothetical.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Hypothetical? I take it you've never gotten food from a food bank.

[-] FatCat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sounds a lot like projection... How many times have you gotten food from a food bank? Very curious to know ๐Ÿ™‚

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] FatCat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ahh so you will avoid the question. Good one buddy

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You asked me how many times and you don't want an accurate number?

[-] FatCat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I could, but you asked me how many times. Either you want to know how many times or you don't. If you don't, you shouldn't have asked.

[-] FatCat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's pretty messed up that you discuss and argue about poverty from your position of wealth and comfort, without actually experiencing any of those hardships firsthand. Check your privilege before you act like an authority on issues you've never actually faced.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

My position of wealth and comfort?

I think you have me confused with someone else.

I just checked my bank balance. It's $281.30. I suppose you could include my savings account though. That has $200. It's for emergencies.

[-] Kit 2 points 2 years ago

Have you? Every food bank I've been to has given fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.
