A friend and I were having a debate. Can I hear someone else's opinion about this?
And please give me an explanation. If yes, why? If no, why? Thanks in advance 👍🏼

It depends of who you’re stealing from. Another individual? No. But thankfully now we have big food distribution chains, that have impressive percentages of produce already accounted to be wasted at some point, so please take what you need in the supermarket.

40% wasted in America

steal from chains, there will be no consequences to any workers, you'll have food, and they'll still be a disgusting profit machine

Like Mercadona in Spain to make a comparison.

They put locks in their rubbish and they throw food in good state not even passing the expiration date in some cases.
