    The guy stuffing 10lbs of ribeye steaks in his jacket is not Jean Valjean.

      The guy judging someone created within a sick society of abundance is the problem. Not the individual who feels the need to steal food just to get by. (for whatever reason. Even if they are using the money to buy drugs. Very few addicts got hooked because they partied too much. Most get hooked because our society is unwell from the top down.)

        Most get hooked because our society is unwell from the top down.

        And yet the vast majority of people in that unwell society don’t end up being addicts. So there might be some other factors involved besides that, that are more relevant to the actual problem.

          Pretty much every person that I know is addicted to caffeine. And those who aren’t have a serious sugar problem.
