“Is it ethical to steal bread if your family is starving?”

“Is it ethical to hoard a million loaves of bread when other families are starving?”

I sometimes hear don't buy too much food / use too much water, the people in wherever are starving.

But if where you live is no shortage, it won't really matter. The food / water you safed won't teleport itself to those in need. They still don't get to eat / drink it.
