If you did it without my consent, you would be physically stealing my money. If I have a dollar bill in my hand, and you take it from my hand, you are stealing it from me. If I go to McDonals and see that they say they have less transfats in their food than BK, and I CHOOSE to believe them, then I might CHOOSE to give them my money in return for a product. See here is where the important part is, any consumer that willingly gives up money, gets something in return. That my friend, is not stealing. That is a TRADE of goods and services for cold hard cash.
