I broadly agree with that but like I said, sufficiently harsh consequences
are, without any doubt, a deterrent.

Yeah, and that's why, back when you'd be hanged for stealing a loaf of
bread, nobody did, right?

I imagine the decision between a certain slow death by starvation and
the possibility of a quick one by hanging is not that hard to make,
particularly if the former applies to your children and the latter to
you.

Simple solution: eat the children. Daddy gets a full tum and the overall
food requirement goes down.
