CW food, ethical Q 

So our school does "hot lunches" which are essentially the prepared kinda meals you could get at your local grocery store.

The kids don't always eat them. One boy left his today entirely unopened.

Is it ethical for me to steal it for my own lunch? It's just going to be thrown away.

@Sparrow If it's abandoned at the end of lunch and it's still sealed, I would say it's fair game. If the owner's still hovering around it, I wouldn't take it, but if there's clearly nobody around who's going to eat it and it's obviously trash otherwise, there's no point in it going to waste.
