The Spartan chidren were kept hungry. They were then encouraged to steal food-sneakinessis a good skill if you are out on the battlefield.If they were caught stealing they would be beaten. They were not beaten for stealing,you understand-they were beaten for being careless enough to get caught. Sometimes the young men were beaten just to toughen them up.If the beating killed the youth then it was just bad luck.
