    For someone that needs to steal food it absolutely is… That’s why they’re doing it…

      And all I’m saying is not everybody that steals food needs to steal food. There are actually kleptomaniacs all over the place and /r/shoplifting is good evidence.

        And I just saw a clit piercing in r/bodymods so clearly everyone who has an earring has genital piercings

          I’m not the one claiming that a certain type of piercing doesn’t exist. I’m claiming that a certain type of theft is not always altruistic. Everybody else in here seems to disagree and think everybody that steals food is always doing it to survive.

            And what everyone is trying to tell you is we can stand 1 person in 10 who steals doing it for fun because the other 9 are doing it to survive. We’re ok with 1 person needing counseling if 9 others get to wake up tomorrow.

                So just for fun I decided to investigate. It appears that yhe nearest food bank is about 45 minutes from where I live by car. Which I can’t afford if I can’t afford food. So it’s really just over 2 hours both ways by public transit (we’re gonna assume I can afford that). So we’re talking 5 hours just to get a night’s worth of food (I hope you like cold beans and stale bread). Now there does appear to be 2 options closer. 1 that requires I enroll online (with what computer/network idk, hope your local library is still recieving funding) and the other is a once a week church meal. So idk, to me that doesn’t feel super livable.

                    So at this point it’s clear you don’t actually know what you’re talking about since you’re just listing grocery assistance programs even though I just outlined their shortcomings. I truly hope you never have a night on the streets

        The incidence of kleptomania is small, and the collective damage done by those with such a pathology is almost certainly a rounding error at most to these corporations. These stores likely throw away more than they have stolen from them, r/dumpsterdiving is good evidence.
