Survival and civility are not compatible. Until you have been forced to the brink of dying from starvation you will not understand. It's quite simple when you think about it would you rather die in the streets from lack of food or go into a supermarket and take some to live another day hell even if you get caught you go to prison where you get fed. There's no point in punishing these people the punishment is actually better then their current situation and any fines etc that you give them they will never be able to pay anyway all that does it prevent them from improving their situation since whenever they will start recovering a bit the debt collectors will show up to knock them down. Besides being a cruel and unusual punishment for someone trying to better their lives it's not good for the economy either.
