It reminds me of something I read. On one episode of Salute Your Shorts, a kids' show about summer camp, the campers were supposed to sneak out of their cabin to steal some candy (something that actually happened at the camps where they were counselors). The execs didn't like that because it was promoting childhood diabetes or something, so the writers had the kids sneak out to steal fresh fruit.
Theft is wrong and if there were any moral storytelling going on like an aesop fable, the moment they try to steal the candy, a drunk counselor would rape them all and wander off into the night.
A free kale salad isn't very incentivizing.

Thus the moral is "dont steal because its wrong".
They did get punished, but they weren't raped.
Thus the moral is "two wrongs don't make a right".
But Two wongs make a light.
