Food Comes First, Ethics Later

I agree with your subject heading which actually interpret that Food comes first, ethics later means that see an example of society, if a guy or his family should not get enough Money to get the food at least two times a day then how someone expect that it should follow the ethics of life or anything, for him the only thing is that to arrange food for his family at least for two times a day. No ethics no any rules.

Hi friends.

In my opinion the food is more important than ethics for whom who can't even afford three time food in a day.

If anyone is hungry then how they can differentiate b/w what is ethics and what is not. They only think that how to get food. We always see people committing crimes, like murdering someone, or looting someone and we only say that people not possess ethics. Sometimes we blame prostitutes making money out of selling their body.

But as we notice why he/she doing that. No one wants to be criminal. I think only poverty make them to do so.

But for middle class or rich, ethics should come first. After all we are humans most intelligent in living things in this planet.

I agree with the statement that food comes first than ethics. Food is the primary source of energy and its necessary to live a healthy life. Families of poor people who are not able to get their daily meal, ethics would not be their primary concern. They first need to feed their own families, in any way it's possible whether the ethics are broken or not. But for the middle class and rich people, ethics should be followed first. They should have equality in men and women, obedience towards law of land, concern towards natural environment etc. So, according to me, giving primary concern to food or ethics depends on the situation of one's life.

It is true that only a hungry stomach knows the value of food. So we when well fed can't judge the ones who commit mistakes like stealing to feed themselves and their families. Many times we see petty thieves who steal food or steal money just to earn two times meal. We should not be judge ful to them. There may be reasons for that but if this bad habit persists and just to get shortcut incomes then this becomes pernicious. When a person is hungry then he can't think of good or bad he only needs food to mitigate the pain. So the saying that food comes first, ethics later is true for all the senses. Thank you.

Hi, all, according to my opinion food is the prior factor rather than ethical values, see for eg if we keep a plate of food in front of a kid who is starving and start to say or tell him about the ethical values he must acquire in his life, he will never learn anything or understand its values, but he will search for food than can cure his appetite. Food plays a major role than ethics because a bunch of ethical values can never substitute the hunger of a person.

When we talking about food and ethics then both are necessary for the person. But food comes first rather than the ethics because human being depends upon the necessary nutrition. As food provided to the human being their brains and another organ work well then they work and behave with others in a good way.

Then ethics describe the person skills and grow in the different area.

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.

As per Freud's theory of human needs, the first stage is food, shelter and cloth and then comes the other needs. A man has to first work for his survival and other basic needs which include ethics. If man has fulfilled first stage of his need then comes moral duties in the society in which he lives to keep healthy environment and peace. Ethics is also important because if a man do not have ethics he will indulge in theft, stealing of food, robbery for his survival which will be harmful to the society and human existence will be jeopardanized. For example, if we analyse the economy of japan than we will notice that after world war2 the country was defeated and its economy was shattered but people of japan do not give up and with the available resources of food, cloth and shelter and discipline in work raised the country among top of the economy of the world. So both food and ethics play crucial role in a man's life but food comes first before ethics.

According to me, food will always be coming first from ethics. Because as we know that all humans are to the world to doing some work and spend their life happy. For doing work and spending happy life we require energy to do work so life will spend happily. By the principle of law of conservation of energy, we required some previously maintained energy which obviously comes from food. That's why food comes first, as we satisfied we with basic need we concentrate on secondary need that is society. In which each human has its own prospective and living manner. To maintaining this we required ethical values. Therefore food comes first ethics later.

Hai friends, here our topic is about food and ethics.

According to me, whatever work we do is only for getting food for feeding ourselves. Its basic criteria for all humans. After fulfilling our basic needs. We should follow our ethics. Of course, ethics is also a basic of survival in society.
