Unless you’re that store’s manager, you should be more upset that people who are hungry aren’t being fed to the point they resort to theft.

Actually, you should be more upset by that either way. I understand not wanting to support theft of food just to eat but something is wrong when you condemn it.

The question is about which is worse: do you what kids to suffer to make sure nobody can enrich themselves. Or do you allow some scumbags through the net but no child goes hungry?

Ideally of course you could have both but that would first require a few guillotined politicians and capitalists.

I feel like taking a whole shelf of baby food is a bit noticable.

Notice how theft, shoplifting, or resale aren’t present anywhere on that page. The media overstates claims of the prevalence of shoplifting all the time. The claims around shoplifting are bullshit
