It could be right as well as wrong in some or the other way as if a situation comes in front of you to choose one of them between food and ethics in that case. I am sure that you would be selecting ethics but if the same situation comes in front of a poor or a hungry person he/she may be some of them will be selecting ''ethics'' but most of them would be selecting ''food'' as for them the first need to stay alive is food. As ethics may be followed their whole life but if they will be dying without food then at that time no ethics will workout there for them. So, this statement may be good or bad in some or the other way.

Definitely it is food that comes first. I came across an incident while I was watching discovery. There was a family who had been trapped in between the icebergs. Cause of the low temperature in that region all the family members had died except the two sisters. They were really starving at that point but nothing was available for them to eat. Suddenly one of the sisters cut the mother's body and started eating it. This was definitely unethical. But we all must be aware of the phrase 'survival of the fittest'. This exampe truely proves that life is the first priority for which a person can always become unethical.

As, I believe food comes first why I m giving reasons to support my statement if we consider Maslow need hierarchy theory of motivation then we can see that in first stage i.e, physiological need which comprises of food, cloth, shelter because an empty stomach cannot consider for ethics so I believe food comes first ethics later.

Hi friends, I think food comes first, Ethics later because we can't live without food. In our society, some people are very poor and hungry they always use unethical way to get food, they can't think what's wrong and whats true. You know that when we need some food and it doesn't get any one that time we use some unethical way.
I agree food and ethics are two side of one coin but it depends on situation when we survive in good condition and we do not have food so that's time we always follow first ethics and later food. Ethics are base of our human being we can't live happily and peacefully without ethics.
Thanks.

Is it true "Food Comes First, Ethics Later"?
The above statement is TRUE if our society follows the rule of Survival of Fittest which is also known as the rule of Jungle. In Jungle animals only think about their hunger, in some instances, they will be ready to eat their own kin. There is no concept of ethics in Jungle.
Surely, I can say that being human beings we are following the rule of Jungle. We are thinking about trees, by saying a slogan called "Save Trees". It doesn't mean your literally saving trees for the purpose of Future Generations what does it mean we have outgone our hunger and we are thinking about our future generation which I call it has to be a human being we have some ethics built in our brain from the day we entered into this world.
In my opinion, In the Modern world, the above statement has a little bit of relevance.

According to me. Yes, food comes first ethics later because we cannot survive without food. Where ethics are the moral principles that govern a person's behaviour or the conducting of an activity. Ethics can be follow only when people are not empty stomach.

Hello friends. This is the case of situation. Consider a scenarios of yourself, you are coming from a hectic job and start eating a burger without Washing your hands. So in this scenario you are tired and hungry too. Everyone went through this in life once. So here food comes first. Ethics can be followed only when you are not empty stomach. As a human being ethics is always in our mind but if anyone is dying because of not getting food surely he or she would not look or even think about ethics. This is my perspective.

Undoubtedly, we all do agree with the fact that " food comes before ethics " and this is axiomatic as well. Food is the basic need of an individual and one cannot be deprived of such need.
If one is unemployed, poor, and has not even a single penny and he/she has not eaten food since the last few days and ultimately, here comes a situation of death due to starvation. In such a hectic situation, you might arrange food, no matter from where it comes.
Thus, ethics are no longer in consideration when food is our first priority.

Hi friends, According to me, food is very essential for our survival. Without food, we can't alive. If people get hungry first he has to arrange food. Maybe he does not have money he has to take a loan from anyone if it is not possible then he has to beg for food. If I have an empty stomach even I cannot think what is good and what is bad, what should I do, what should I don't do. First, we have to eat to fill our stomach then we have to think. Which one good which one bad.
