In some cases, you are allowed to do the things that have less evil because when you are suffering from severe hunger, it means you are about to die, and to make your life easier, you can eat some grasses instead of quickly killing people. I believe there was a time when a plane crashed in the middle of the snowy continent and some of the passengers are dead but some has survive the impact, in order for the survivor to prolong their lives until the rescuer comes, they ate those people that are dead instead of killing the other survivors. There are always some options but most people don't really want to choose the hard way instead they forget they are human and they commit heinous crimes.

Personally, when my stomach is empty it's hard to think and that results to being angry even if there's nothing to be angry about. Hunger is a big problem that's been there years ago that many countries and societies are dealing with.

It is true that we're like in the wild looking to survive and that's how we're dealing with our daily lives. But it's a different survivability for those that are actually experiencing it not just ones but almost everyday of their lives.

I am not sure if you are just stating this or if you are asking a solution for a problem?

There's also a saying that varies depending who said it:

No man was ever more than about nine meals away from crime or suicide. (Eric Sevareid)

And it's not only lack of food. It can be fear of lack of food for anyone who has been ever really hungry and poor. Or for a rich people who don't know how they could handle not being able to afford something they are used to, like food, housing, paying debts or lifestyle in general. People are often are miser when they is afraid of losing something, and generous when they see other persons losing something if they are able to feel sympathy and empathy.

[BADecker]

Overweight people are like a miser^^. They don't want to lose it, but at the same time they are hungry for a slender shape. This conflict in their lives produces insecurity.

Even the Holy Bible acknowaedgles crime ignited by hunger and stipulates lesser punishment. An hungry man can loose his sense of reasoning. I would not blame a man that steals because he is hunger. If a thief come to someones house and goes straight to the kitchen and start eating and packing food, I dont think it will be ideal to call the cops if he does that without harming anybody.
Hunger might not be the only reason for insecurity because other factors like greed also contributes, but it is one of the main cause of insecurity. This is why most countries that experience a high rate of crime is likely suffering from unemployment and hunger.

There are two sides to every coin, including hunger and rage. Hunger frequently causes insecurity. A person who has enough to eat for himself and his family would prefer to consider rational ways to better both his life and the lives of people around him than to consider engaging in any illegal activity that will increase their level of insecurity.
Similar to how every man wakes up in the morning and considers what the family will eat, the government of every community or nation should put the welfare of its people first. A man who is starving will do whatever "illegal" to survive.

Hunger and insecurities are two major disaster that can make a settlements unsettled because there will also be an unrest and fear of what may come as an outcome each day, striving for survival comes with a huge challenge on people especially finding ends to meet, while the addition of insecurities is the worst plaque that could encourage people for migration to other places for better settlement, we also need to carter for others in our own little way of rendering assistance for them to have a good living and feels secured having us around them.

[Belarge]

The problem is not hunger, because hunger is a natural thing, if you stay a day without been hungry then you should not there's something wrong with your body system,

The problem is been hungry and you can't afford food for yourself, that's where comes the problem, and what causes this situation is that term (poverty) and the process of been poor is caused by lack of job in the society.

But I don't see hunger as a reason why people engage in crime, because I know of so many people that can afford food for themselves but yet they commit crimes on daily basis, so to me hunger is not a reason why someone should engage in crime, cause if you are caught, you will be punished for it and hunger won't be accepted as your excuse..

Yes I know the country is hard, no jobs, insecurities, bad governance, but I will simply advice, if you are hungry, look for a mini job you can do to provide food for yourself, or better still ask people on the street for help, don't engage in crimes because you are hungry else you will be dealt with thoroughly....

When a  man is hungry different things comes to his mind, when there is hunger there comes insecurity, because when you look at it, when a man is hungry is ready to do anything just for him to be able to put food on his table, so the main reason people do evil things that make a society unstable is because of what they are passing through. And there is also the aspect of the kind of leaders we have, when the leaders are not doing well for the citizens there will be a lot of crime and insecurity in that country.

Many people who tend to rob and involved in bad acts majorly as a result of hunger. There is an adage in my language that says if food is removed from all expenses incurred then all is well, this is because the majority of the money incurred is spent on food.

foremost what is the legal definition of hunger;is a feeling of discomfort and weakness, what causes the discomfort and weakness is lack of food, that is to say food is life and life is food, food is very vital, for example you have all the money on earth and you don't value food, that is not possible, what are the causes of food insecurity
*poverty
*low income
*lack of affordable housing.What are the remedy to food insecurity, giving more people benefits through nutrition assistance programs, increasing benefits amounts and addressing unemployment.

I mostly agree with the idea hunger can push people to do criminal things, I would also add Health.
Both Health and Hunger and the basic things we need to take care of in order to continue existing in this world, and since not doing so certainly translate to death; people are more afraid of death than jail or justice.

I can tell, because here in my country, we have seen economical periods when people were struggling so hard that many of them had to move onto a grey market of re-selling fuel or gold-mining.

If hunger and health were not problems in the world, I also believe people could focus in electing actual politicians instead demagogues who take advantage of other's desperation.

There is this saying a hungry man is an angry man.

You're right about what you just said, if a child is hungry, he may be tempted to steal, if we want to tackle insecurities in the society today, then we have to begin with the consideration of the less privilege first, the poor and the needy, we need to create an avenue for several opportunities for the people to participate in one enterprise or the other, the government and individuals make take it a determination in helping others in need, these people got frustrated and were left with no option than to partake in illegal measn for a living sustainability, but that shouldn't be an excuse although, we all take full responsibility for how we lived our life.

Poor governance, unemployment, and inflation are all factors that contribute to the emergence of hunger. They all lead to hunger, which in turn leads to insecurity in the country. A country that lacks control over the factors that cause hunger will eventually produce criminals, and criminal activity will persist in the country. One of the most viable ways to stop all of this is to address the former before they escalate; escalation is extremely dangerous, and this is an example of what we see in countries where there are too many criminal cases.

[Klima Dorres]

For me, hungry people are not just limited to starving due to lack of food. However, it also lacks basic necessities that a person needs for their own survival and that of their family, such as clean water, shelter, medicine, and climate-appropriate clothing.

For some reasons and usually, When a person is hungry they may commit criminal acts just to survive because hunger is a basic need that everyone wants to fulfill in a society where hunger exists.

However, criminals are still criminals. And these actions in any country are still against the law and certainly arrested.

Perhaps the consequences of hunger can lead to hopelessness and people can fall under peer pressure, environmental and social pressure even more when they cannot afford their basic amenities.

[Raceonsucced]

Food is a basic need in human life. if there is no food, people will starve and die. thus, if a person has no food, they tend to do anything to survive. hunger is torturous. everyone would want a long life. so definitely food is the main thing in life. and maybe hunger can make a person angry and restless if not controlled.

Is this an idiomatic expression or it is an event that actually happenwd. I mean how long would a plane crashthat the survivors could not survive the hunger even if it is for two to three days before the rescue will come. I do not see myself eating my fellow human being whether smoked, cooked or raw. In order to survive, I would rather have to starve to death than eat my fellow human. I don't know if there is some part of the world were eating human being is legal or morally acceptable atleast.

I also think that your reply was off the context, because Op is indirectly depicting a poor government or unemployment countries and not surviving in terms of emergency.

One can endure bad governance, unemployment and inflation but when it comes to hunger one can engage in diverse criminal act just to survive. Out of the numerous factors that can push people into criminal acts hunger has the highest reasons.

I think it depends on what type of criminal activity, most likely poverty will lead to stealing, robbery, environmental destruction, or something related to the means of making money or for survival.

However, for murder and genocide which are more serious than just theft. These are driven mostly because of ideological beliefs and/or racism.

but when it comes to hunger one can engage in diverse criminal act just to survive. Out of the numerous factors that can push people into criminal acts hunger has the highest reasons.

I agree with your fact, OPs; really, a hungry man is an angry man. Generally, humans can endure a lot of unfair situations, but hunger can cause a person to commit an act they never meant to. My friend told me what he witnessed in his house on a Sunday day last year. When he returned from church that Sunday, he noticed someone had broken into his house. He checked around his house, but everything was in place and nothing was stolen. It was only after he entered his kitchen that he realized his soup, stew, rice and beverages were gone. In fact, his refrigerator had been emptied. Due to hunger, humans can agree to do things like become hired killers or become suicide bombers.

In most countries, the government takes advantage of these kinds of situations to get people to do their dirty jobs.
