Is it right or wrong for you to steal food if you're poor?

steal from the rich and give to the poor ?

spray crop defolient on poor rural farmars that may or may not be growing coca ?

share food ?

cook food ?

 

right it is essential to satisfy biological needs

wrong Only if you're starving. There are a literal wealth of options to get "back on your feet" in modern society. If you haven't eaten in under a week, you're not starving.

right man has only one life to live.

wrong there's always other options. You could work, beg, grow your own food or think of something else. Stealing would be ok only if you're really out of options or if people are deliberately trying to kill you by starvation.

right you need to eat to live

wrong stealing's immoral. Ask politely first.

right becase when it is poor, you should steal you need to survive, like Robin Hood! lol ;)

right a person has to eat. In most cases, the government only takes care of certain people.

right assuming your so poor its the only way to not starve

wrong it is stealing. However, it would all depend on how POOR you were. No job, no income, and haven't eaten in a while? I understand stealing in that sense.

right you gotta eat to live, besides millions of tons of food end up in garbage

right sure.

right Unless you're stealing it from some other poor fella.

right but only if its the bare minimum required.

right everyone has the right to eat

right If there's no other alternative than starvation, sure. At least you'll be alive to feel guilty about it.

wrong I'd almost say 'right' except you should be able to get enough money and free stuff in a developed country that you won't need to steal food.

right if you die without trying, you suck

right being fed is a human right, not a privledge. There's enough food in the world to easily feed it. The alternative is letting someone kill you so they can be richer.

wrong there are better ways to get food, such as foraging, working for it, or asking for it if it is an emergency

right individual stealing isn't wrong, it's only when the majority steals without safeguards than societies order cannot be maintained.

right survival outweighs morale. And without proper nutrition, one will remain poor due to poor health.

right I'm poor.

wrong there are far too many ways to obtain food legally. Shelters, Salvation Army, dumpster diving, WORK FOR A LIVING!
