I can see why the temptation is there - it seems like it must be fairly easy... The number of times I've come home after using self checkout and then realised that something isn't actually on the receipt :/. If you're hungry it must seem like an easy option and also... I can perfectly understand not feeling any moral obligation to the Big Supermarkets. The amount of food they THROW AWAY at the end of each day is sickening, most of it still in date by a few days. there is absolutely no reason for anyone in the western world to go hungry.

So no I don't really blame people... it's the most basic of human instincts - you need food, you find it, you eat it. this whole "money, economy" thing is a completely new construct in the context of human history. the idea that people should feel morally obliged to starve in order to adhere to it is beyond me.
