As the bible says http://www.bibleserver.com/text/ESV/Deuteronomy23%2C25

> If you go into your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, as many as you wish, but you shall not put any in your bag. 25 If you go into your neighbor’s standing grain, you may pluck the ears with your hand, but you shall not put a sickle to your neighbor’s standing grain.

Stealing food is okay sometimes. There's even a word in German for it Mundraub.

Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

Proverbs 6:30-31

"For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."" -- 2 Thessalonians 3:10
