It's like saying that if you give free newspapers near the metro it is possible that more people will read them. The only problem is that here they are giving for free "paid newspapers". So, everyone that wanted a paid newspaper but didn't have the money to pay for it read it more times because they were able to steal them. By this analogy the conclusion adds that the fact that people are able to steal newspapers helps to keep everyone more informed. Now, please do the same analogy for food. |

Or the problem is that there are "paid newspapers" in the first place.

No, because information is not a finite resources in the same way that food is: Food can't be cloned at negligible cost after it is produced. If food was replicable like in Star Trek, then at that point we could make the same argument for food. (We do waste a lot of food when people can't pay for it or its transporation and distribution though.)
