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.

I agree for most of people food comes first. Food is nothing but a mans basic need it can be related to money. People go to any extent to get money. People cheat others so that they get some money, people pay bribe so that they get their work done, People murder, kidnap innocent people just for sake of Money (food).

Ethics is given least importance. There are people who try hard not to cheat anyone who want to do things morally right people around won't let that happen how much ever he tries to be ethical there are people who are always going to lead us into doing something against ethics somewhere or other. Hence its difficult for people to stick to ethics.

THus even if we don't want to give much importance to money people around are such that they will force us into doing evrything unethical.

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.

Ethics comes first then food.

I accept the fact that food is the basic necessity, but prima facie we should not ignore that flouting laws in the name of the food is unacceptable. Sometimes bijou theivery can lead to crimes like murders.

I accept the fact that having the burden of feeding full family leads to such activities but the taste of that recipe will force him again to do that. Scrutinizing the content POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT are the as the main culprits.

In confronting from poverty and unemployment effectual government is needed. Various welfare schemes aiding poorers, providing employment to at least 1 member in each house. This modus operandi can opt, a force of government can be made to implement such schemes and Ethics can be followed despite earning food with hard work.

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.

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.

Food and ethics are equally important for human society. Otherwise we would be just animals.

So many responses say that food comes first because it is necessary for survival. That sounds noble and we may maintain that view until we are on the receiving end; For example, when a hungry, desperate man, with a weapon, a gun maybe, has entered our home.

We would want that hungry man to have some principle, some ethics; to respect our lives, the lives of our loved ones, to respect our right to our property. We would want that hungry man to act with principle, to ask first rather than to take; to think it below him to steal, in spite of his hunger.

Food and ethics are equally important. Otherwise we would be living in a jungle.

Its the talk of honest world not the corrupted one.

I am a respected person but now I don't have money to eat at instant. I ll not beg for money rather I ll leave as it is crying inside. Its all because I am bound in this type of society. Nobody wants to take initiation to change something.

With good suit I walk around a begger what is in my mind about the begger anybody can know this. See he is begging for food. And with this mind having no respect on human I give the speech of ethics and morality.

Food to hungry begger may come first priority but what if the same food is asked by little hungry kid?The hungry begger can't stand giving the food to the kid its the ethics.

It should be parallel but world has changed now.

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.

Well Food & Ethics are 2 very different aspects of human life. Who says that by doing ethical things you won't get food in life. Ethics are the principles of individuals it inherits inside the person. A wise & ethical person will not go on wrong path like killing or stealing for the sake of food. So it all depends on individual's personality and how he is brought up. If you consider the case of criminals & terrorists they have adequate money to survive for entire life but they still continue on that unethical path as for them ethics don't exist. In short I would like to sum it up that Food & ethics are both important of life and which to choose between them all depends on an individual.
