I support that food comes first.Even a highly educated person who follows ethics may not follow ethics when he is under hunger.Hunger can make a thief to good at the same time it can make a good person as a thief.Its the capacity of food

If you say ethics to a hungry person he may think you as fool.but give him food and even if you say two words he may be inspired to follow ethics.

I agree with Nandana. Because t situation decides t importance of anyone. One who is starving food alone knows about t importance of it. Once you have t basic needs, you start following t ethics.

In my view, no doubt, food is the basic necessity of life. But in some circumstances or in some relationship, ethics comes first. Take example of a poor family who consist of a mother and her small child. They both are hungry. But they have the meal for a single person only. Now what will the mother do? she will give this food to his child first. And in my view, ethics is the only thing that make different one person from another. And specially now-a-days, when everyone want to rise. And you will get this opportunity if you have ethics. This does not mean, I am against food. But we cannot rate among them if both are present simultaneously in a circumstance. In a situation, where a person has to choose between food and ethics, it depends on his personality, his mindset and his priorities.

The way we think, the same way we present ourself. If gandhiji had not given importance to ethics, we might not have got freedom. It's all depends upon the circumstances prevailing in our life. No doubt food comes first, but to lead a meaningful and respectful life ethics are also important. They must go hand in hand. If a human is made to starve for a day, obiouslly he comes to the importance of food. And due to the high moral values of our great leaders, India has gots its freedom.

We are discussing about what we will opt when comes to food or ethics, if we give priority to food that means we may compromise with our principles that may led to become habitual of opting things on the basis of only fullfilling our requrements and inshort, gradually it may total degradation of the humanity. I think we are discussing it so that we can apply it on our real time scenario otherwise our view will be futile so I want to suggest people to think twice that where are you getting your food if it will unethical then I know most of us will choose to be hungry. In our real time scenario food willl be easily avalable to at least survive but whena comes to ethical issue I think it is our assets which we are continously collecting through our whole life journey and believe me it really MATTERS, so never compromise.

yes i agree with all but food come first because it the basic requirement of the human being but is ethics is secondary thing in the life of human being ,it is also necessary in the today's world for com-petting with other's.SO,the conclusion is based that food is primary necessary of any human being to live and ethics is the secondary item to earn the money and get food for the family,cliges etc

I agree with you Nandana. A Person who is very rich but without any ethical values, He is never recognized or respected. A person is recognized with his ethics. Just consider in the world, we Indians are popular for our ethical values n culture, more than anything else. Ethics add value to anything, be it a person or a country.

All the person who are in the side of food, I would like to make you remember, that all the alive being instead human, he lives for other need, and without this philosophy, there is no existence of life and society. Food is necessary but we can never survive without ethics, eg. terrorism is not a concrete problem, it is a thought, we can't solve it by capital punishment.

Hi, friends it is not very easy to say weather food comes first or ethics. Sometimes such a situation arises in front of us that we can not give up our ethics for the sake of our belly. We commonly hear that leaders are starving for the demand to be fulfilled, why they do so, there is no personal cause only for the betterment of society. So, in this case we can say ethics first, food later.

Hi, no doubt food is the basic need for survival. But to live a respectful life ethics are must.. food and ethics must go hand in hand for leading a good life.
Though importance of food is more but then you cann't even ignore the ethics. Rest all depends upon the person thinking..
