It depends completely on the situatuion. Lets say If you have 10rs with you with that you can get normal food which fills your stomached and satisfies the appettite. Then you should not opt for a way to get a delicious food in an unethical way. If you dnt have even 10rs then you should beg for it as beggers do because beggin is not unethical.

There will never be a situation where you have to be unethical for getting the food. Our society is framed in such a manner.

Ethics goes first because there will never be a situation where you ve to be unethical in getting the adequate food.

As ethics says the person who is having anything which is more than enough should distribute that to everyone who all longing for that. If we follow this ethics there won't be any problem for food.

But before achieve that state of having enough thing, one's first preference will be to the food. This situation occurs only because of unethical hoardings.

So to me both food and ethics are important and both are inter related things. The preference given is purely depend on the People's status and character.

If you take a thief an beggar, their first preference is only to FOOD. For beggar, his second preference is ethics, so he is not a thief.

Wen we talk of living a normal life in a civil society the importance of ethics and food cannot be compared. You cannot survive in a social environment without following a common set of ethical rules. I do agree with that. but here, as per the topic, when it comes to comparing the importance of food and ethics on a basic level, you have to have food as more important necessity. Ethics are important, but then it is confined to the ideal situation when you are leading a normal life in a civil society. You cannot keep on clinging to the ethical rules when all you need to survive is food, even if it comes by unethical ways. To sum up, I will say that, it is all about the priority. Unless you are in the situation when you have to choose between the two, you prefer ethics, but when it comes to the question of survival, you will obviously go for food..!!

I am very thankful to the service provider to giving a chance to me to deliever my view about food comes first, etics later. I am supportive to food but not against ethics. Ethics plays an important role in shaping attitude of people. Nowadays it is very important in everyones life as they have to bear too much stres in the life. So they must frame rules and regulations based on their life how to tackle every problem. And to think and be in healthy condition one has to eat healthy. It can't be ruled out that one can think better, positive by having proper diet. But in limited manner. Having diet beyond the use results in strangulation of our body by laziness. So we should utilise both but in limited manner.

Hi, according to me food comes first, because if a person is starving. What to say about the ethics, he can not even use his mind properly.

Food, clothing and shelter are the 'basic' needs of human life. And the word basic here itself speaks that it should come first.

And moreover according to the charles darwins theory -"SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST" substantiates that basic needs comes first.

Everyone likes a person with ethics. Such idol people are praised but not followed. In today's world people can only enjoy the gandhidiri in "Lage raho munna bhai", but no one encultates the principles in themselves. Well this is human nature. The god, which has created human with the power to think, to difffer between good and bad, has also created 3 basic needs and food is one of them. When there is race for every thing, anyone would like to win only, and that is not possible by ethics only in today's world.

Hi friends, As we all know food and ethics are like two side of a coin. I talk on ethic, to live the prosperous and respect life we need to follow certain rules in our life.

As everybody knows "roti, kapda and makan" are the basic need of the people to survive.

But according to me surviving is not called life. If you call surviving as life even insects, animals do survive. As we all are known as most intelligent species on this earth, so we should have certain manners to act with other in the society. Which shows that we all are bound with ethic in our day to day life.

It's difficult to choose between two fare things but I will support ethics. Ethics always says that we should distribute food equally amongst the society and should do the proper managment of it. Augmented with it, it says it should not be bring to home with improper ways so that it unbalances the society and will creat difficulties in future life. Some my colleagus said that, you will understand the hunger when you will starve for day but I want to clarify that even beggar earn his money with ethicsecome the he never try to steal things and so maintain the balance in society. But if you break the rule over food then it will solve the problem of one but become problem of many.

Noway. It is clear that food is everything in our day to day life. Also I support "ethics". It has some role in a human being's life. But not so much important as food.

If there is food then there is life. If there is life than there is ethics.

So we can conclude that.

"FOOD MAKES ETHICS. ETHICS ONLY SUPPORT IT".

As far I considered the ethics must come first and then food, being a ethical person in society represents your character. Today's world is moving with tremendous rate and in this moving world we forget our responsibilities and we simply doing anything for food even we taking the life of others for feeding mouth. There are many examples which I can tell you like naxalist , even we normal people can reach the height of egregious for food.

At last I only say that if you can't make your own food then you should not have authority to play with ethics. If ethics is there then only the world's can run.
