[quote=Anonymous]Why don't you just bring it up? You said she was a close friend. I would say, "Don't you think it's sort of unethical to get food that is meant for people who would otherwise go hungry?" Maybe they'll say, "Oh, we volunteer every Sunday and there were the items that couldn't be put back" or who knows what. Short of some logical reason, she may give it some thought.

Once when I was in my early 20s and really living like a rat with very little money, I walked past a church on my way home one night and saw some bags of clothes at the door. I picked through them and took a few things. Later, I mentioned it to a friend, who said, "So you basically stole from a church." That had not crossed my mind. I had assumed it was up for grabs and not immoral to take, since it was outside. That simple sentence filled a blank spot in my character that my parents should have filled when I was growing up but didn't bother to. I still think of that simple one-sentence response to this day.[/quote]
