Great point. Without endorsing “everyone should steal!” I think that if people considered for even a second how much food is thrown away and how much product is destroyed, they wouldn’t even really think twice about desperate people stealing food or clothing. It’s good, because a functional society needs the majority to think the rules are important enough to be followed, but at the same time? I don’t know, it makes so little sense to get more upset with somebody stealing a lot of bread than at the dozen loafs thrown out every week.
Though I disagree about the steak thing a bit. You’re stealing food anyway. If I’m stealing meat why am I stealing ground beef when I could be stealing prime rib? It’s not like people stealing at trying to manage a budget.
