That is less and less of an option as the dumpsters are changing to compactors that preclude people from getting inside them at all.
It is easy to see many other options in the time that we live, but there was a time when people were eating their own children, perhaps if there had been anything to steal we wouldn't have such stories.

Re: Would You Shoplift to Feed Your Children?
Since I understand there is no "right" to free food. I would exhaust every means. The food would not have to come from other people even.
Did you know humans can live on things that grow in the woods? In five to ten days you can grow greens to eat and sustain you til you can kill a few rats to cook for meat...
Just saying, If you take stealing out of the equation, one could think of endless possibilities.

I would guess if there had been things to steal, there also would have been other options like bartering, working or begging.

Worms are good to eat and/or drink, raw or cooked.

Re: Would You Shoplift to Feed Your Children?
I don't get this, but then I did not read the thread either...

I think you have no idea what it means to have nothing. I see people everyday who have nothing more than they can carry, sleeping on benches and begging everyday for what they eat. what happens when the economy drops do much that these folks don't get anything from begging.

Re: Would You Shoplift to Feed Your Children?
Just as a side note I am not justifying it, I am just saying that I believe that most people would if they had no other options, and there are times when that is the only option.
