Second question, I would fine punishment for the stealing/killing moral. Actively taking is a different kettle of fish from simply not acting selflessly.
Understandable answers, I think I would tend to agree with you. So can we say that the action of violating another's right to life is the immoral action here.
Another question, what if the food was not for you, but was for your child?
Still immoral, but extremely understandable as a reason. Perhaps a reduced sentence for circumstances, but still punished.
