In the most dire of circumstances,

Would you steal a loaf of bread to feed your family? Would you admonish another who chooses to do the opposite?

Either thieve to feed, or starve-- there are no alternatives.

If all the people steal, one day someone will steal me. So I never would't steal.

If it's that desperate and alternatives aren't an option then I'll probably resort to stealing food... but only food. Because for example I wouldn't like someone stealing my PC because they're hungry, that's just selfish and inconsiderate.

I'd probably try to find food myself (or ask politely), but I wouldn't go all Jean Valjean on someone who did the opposite

I'd steal more than just bread! At that point it would not really matter to me what choice others would make in that situation!

I would steal but having worked in a cafe, I know a lot of shit gets thrown out. I think I'd try visiting cafes/bakeries and anywhere else they serve fresh pastries every day and asking for the stuff they're about to throw out before they close. For this to work though you'd probably need to look half decent (those stores don't want riff raff coming in, let alone visiting regularly) and visit a place that is not operated by the owner. Workers are less likely to think about the repercussions of feeding a beggar and more about doing the right thing and feeling good about themselves. There's also food banks and soup kitchens to visit.

If I was in that kind of situation, I'd be more concerned about getting caught more than the morally wrong side of stealing. Being caught would mean I couldn't help my family any more or we'd be in a lot more trouble. I'm not the kind of person who would die for pure morals. There's plenty of people out there ditching morals for luxury so why would I not ditch morals for basic needs? Therefore, I wouldn't judge others who do this. Though of course they have to be doing it out of necessity.

I would, family matters. I'd probably fail the stealth mission though...

I would steal to save my family. To me family is very important.. So if I had no choice but to do that in order to get food for my family.. then I would do so without any issues.

However, there are a lot of places that will give some food to those who can not get any food otherwise. So the odds of me needing to steal for my family is very small..

Now, if protecting my family meant killing someone. ( IE I had to kill someone for my family to live ) I would, despite the fact that I honestly do not want to hurt anyone if I do not have to little alone kill.

One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford (That's everything!)
One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

[Crowd:] Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!
[Aladdin:] Just a little snack, guys
[Crowd:] Rip him open, take it back, guys
[Aladdin:] I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Abu!
[Crowd:] Who?

[Ladies:] Oh it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime
I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em
[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block

[Crowd:] Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!
[Aladdin:] Let's not be too hasty
[Lady:] Still I think he's rather tasty
[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along

[Aladdin:] One jump ahead of the hoofbeats (Vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump (Streetrat!)
One trick ahead of disaster (Scandal!)
They're quick, but I'm much faster (Take that!)
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump!!!!!!!!!!

If I have no other option, sure I'll steal the bread. Family matters so yes, I'd admonish someone who wouldn't do it for their own family.

Steal for other people for survive much better than steal for make profit to our self and make other people suffer. But much better to ask donation first than steal.
