Nah.

Rich people steal for “fun” sometimes.

And something like baby formula is often stolen to be sold overseas, not because they needed it.

Maybe so. But if there’s any possibility it’s a genuine need, don’t ruin a baby’s chance to get fed.

Uhhh?

These people stripped shelves empty, causing many babies to go hungry because nothing was in stock.

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

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

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.

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.
