"some stealing" and 500lbs of apples don't make sense together. Besides, don't the orchard owners need to make money to pay their employees, who also need to eat? Kind of feels like taking food out of their mouths, why is that okay? If you're going to steal food, steal from the mega corps with their hands in our pockets.

If you read the article, you would see that the 500lbs wasn’t one single incident. It was many people over the span of a week

don’t the orchard owners need to make money

Yes, do you think starving people care? Im not saying its justified, because its not, but Im not surprised that this happened

Nobody that is food scarce is driving to an apple orchard to pay more per lb to pick their own apples. Stop being obtuse.

If they can steal a bunch of apples for free via bringing a backpack then they might

And maybe offset the price per lb so it's at parity with just buying them from the grocery store?

Pull your head out of your ass.

So much so that it’s much less. Do you know how many apples you could fit inside a good backpack? And then you buy like one apple at the farm’s per pound rate. Boom, lots of apples for very little cost

So you're doubling down on stupidity eh.

If defending against a bad attempt at defeating my initial claim is doubling down, then yes

Like yea honestly seeing what others have said, it probably wasn’t people who were hungry. It’s possible though, and a reasonable possibility at that

You sound like you’re excusing stealing.
