Food Comes First, Ethics Later

How can ethics and morals supercede the basic requirement of a man?

An empty stomach is a root cause of deviation from all morality. Why animal began to kill another animal:not because of his safety but because of his food requirement. It is the food scarcity that gives birth to major unfair elements of society like robbery, stealing and even killing. We do not witness these things much in a rich country. When there is money in hand, there is a sound presence of healthy mind. People can then work upon to improve their code of conduct, their behaviour etc. Ethics are important to control the greed of man when he intends to adopt unfair means to interfere into another man's daily bread and butter. Yaar, we should live and let others live more peacefully. Our country is self sufficient in food and grain production. But important thing is that there is no proper flow of grains from top level to bottom level. Make them to reach every home so that beggars can be satisfied and feel healthier to do hard work and make their living by ethical means.

According to me, this topic is actually trying to point towards a very burning news now-a-days and i.e. "ban on beef". Because it's a food for some communities in India whereas it's related to ethics for the others. Lets be specific about the two biggest communities of our country where the Muslims supports beef consumption but the Hindus are against it because of their moral values or ethics. But let's also not forget that our constitution supports freedom to eat and live freely as we are breathing in a democratic country.

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.

Obviously Food comes first. Ethics are the moral principles which control or influence individuals behavior. All these moral principles were formed gradually to give directions to society, for well-being of society.

Think of first person who came on this planet, first thing he would have search for is food, he had not mind killing animal for food. After that he thought of anything else ex. Forming society and rules etc. If there is no society there will not be any ethics and society first need to feed its people first.

Likewise if government is not able to feed its people, people will obviously go violent.

Criminals mostly are the people who had suffered with poverty, helplessness and could not bear the injustice done by government to them.

No doubt. It is been accepted by our society that basic necessities of our life are food, clothing and shelter. Ethics is equally important to food. But nowadays, the importance of ethics is fading, you get to see so many crimes in our society. Murders, kidnapping, robbery. Most of the time the reason of such crime is money. In such situations its hard to say that ethics comes first then food. We say Man is a social animal. We eat to live not live to eat. We earn and we eat, but animals the case is different.

Need of food and ethics are the two sides fo same coins. Both are essential for faithful existance of humanlife. When the person is equiped with all aminities, he should mustdeal with the etics first, for a beggar who is sick, mad and lost his conscise the food is first priorty. But for the sound man ethics are as important as food. Animals also eat food but the difference between man and animals are the great ethics.

Hello friends! I heard this topic.

Every person has different views on this topic but why we are not looking to correlate both of them, Yes I agree food comes first but without ethics, there is no sense of that food. We generally talk about healthy food, then mind how will get this food without ethics. Even cropping and seeding is also bound under the procedures of ethics. These ethics followed by every farmer in the field because they believe that without worship of God we will not going a step forward because these all thoughts relate to your traditions and sacraments.

Concluded both things important in their places.

Nothing is good or bad on this earth. But the thinking makes so. Food, water and shelter are the bare minimum requirements for any human beings on this earth. Ethics are only for good people and that is something Kinda an inborn quality and about the bad guys it is simple non existent. But to live in this highly civilized world.

We do require ethics. I suppose, you all will agree the point that ethics can only be followed when one is alive. And the later is only possible if one is able to satisfy his basic necessity of food and water. So, practically. The statement 'Food Comes First, Ethics Later' holds true. But, as I earlier told it is debatable considering the type of person.

Hi friends,

I think this is absolutely correct statement. If person is hungry, his eyes and mind always try to find out food to fill his stomach. He will keep his ethics in side until he get food. But if he is not starving he will try to upgrade his ethic value in society. He will make some creative thinking, innovation in his work which could increases his ethic value.

Good evening,

Firstly, I thank to all of you to given me this opportunity to explore my thought.

According to me, both food and ethics are playing an important role in our life. It is like 60% and 40%, because food is really necessary each and every person. Without food, we can not survive in this world. Just think a person going die from starvation then which is important ethics or food, obviously, food is necessary for him. But some people and farmers can not compromise with ethics. Even cropping and seeding is also bound under the procedures of ethics. These ethics are followed by every farmer in the field because they believe that without worship of God we will not go a step forward because these all thoughts relate to your traditions and sacraments.
