Really? You think that 100% of employees steal from their co-workers at some point? I guess I must be crazy because I've never done that, nor considered it.

I would certainly quit a company with a culture of dispensing harsh and summary justice.

And, while I agree that eating other people's lunch is unethical, we should be very wary of the "broken window" attitude towards lashing out severe punishment for minor things.

Very often it goes together with leniency towards CEOs "giving themselves" huge exit bonuses & so on.
