Why not, food isn't the only item at the bottom of Maslows pyramid. Food being the only one you can steal. The rest must be acquired through currency.

Stealing a couple morsels of food and stealing thousands of dollars to rent an apartment don't really seem that similar to me.

How so? Depending on where you live, going cold will kill you far far quicker, than going hungry. If the arguments are on need, then the need for shelter here in Canada trumps the need for food, by a long shot.
