Hi friends, As we all know food and ethics are like two side of a coin. I talk on ethic, to live the prosperous and respect life we need to follow certain rules in our life.

As everybody knows "roti, kapda and makan" are the basic need of the people to survive.

But according to me surviving is not called life. If you call surviving as life even insects, animals do survive. As we all are known as most intelligent species on this earth, so we should have certain manners to act with other in the society. Which shows that we all are bound with ethic in our day to day life.

Everyone likes a person with ethics. Such idol people are praised but not followed. In today's world people can only enjoy the gandhidiri in "Lage raho munna bhai", but no one encultates the principles in themselves. Well this is human nature. The god, which has created human with the power to think, to difffer between good and bad, has also created 3 basic needs and food is one of them. When there is race for every thing, anyone would like to win only, and that is not possible by ethics only in today's world.

Hi, according to me food comes first, because if a person is starving. What to say about the ethics, he can not even use his mind properly.

Food, clothing and shelter are the 'basic' needs of human life. And the word basic here itself speaks that it should come first.

And moreover according to the charles darwins theory -"SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST" substantiates that basic needs comes first.

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.

Wen we talk of living a normal life in a civil society the importance of ethics and food cannot be compared. You cannot survive in a social environment without following a common set of ethical rules. I do agree with that. but here, as per the topic, when it comes to comparing the importance of food and ethics on a basic level, you have to have food as more important necessity. Ethics are important, but then it is confined to the ideal situation when you are leading a normal life in a civil society. You cannot keep on clinging to the ethical rules when all you need to survive is food, even if it comes by unethical ways. To sum up, I will say that, it is all about the priority. Unless you are in the situation when you have to choose between the two, you prefer ethics, but when it comes to the question of survival, you will obviously go for food..!!

As ethics says the person who is having anything which is more than enough should distribute that to everyone who all longing for that. If we follow this ethics there won't be any problem for food.

But before achieve that state of having enough thing, one's first preference will be to the food. This situation occurs only because of unethical hoardings.

So to me both food and ethics are important and both are inter related things. The preference given is purely depend on the People's status and character.

If you take a thief an beggar, their first preference is only to FOOD. For beggar, his second preference is ethics, so he is not a thief.

It depends completely on the situatuion. Lets say If you have 10rs with you with that you can get normal food which fills your stomached and satisfies the appettite. Then you should not opt for a way to get a delicious food in an unethical way. If you dnt have even 10rs then you should beg for it as beggers do because beggin is not unethical.

There will never be a situation where you have to be unethical for getting the food. Our society is framed in such a manner.

Ethics goes first because there will never be a situation where you ve to be unethical in getting the adequate food.

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.

First of all I will be very thankful to whome give me a chance to present some view about the topics of food comes first, ethis later. So according to I think both things is imprtant in our life. And I think we should take both things at a time. And we can do it. And also we should coperate in some situation. If we are rich so there are no problem to take both things at a time, if we are not rich so by cooperating and managing we can take both things. Like if we have 100 rs for food. But in 60 rs we can take normal food so rest 40 rs rupees we shoud spend in ethics. Because God has given a imprtant time to do some good work. We should spend our life in good work because there are time for everybody.

Yes, I do agree that for many a people Food is the priority over ethics.
Everybody wants to be honest in whatever field they go; but as the time passes by, there are a very few people left with the same ethics they had when they entered in that field.
That is because the strive to fulfill their hunger makes them to do so, and some people are just great trend follower.
for example- If a traffic constable challans a car for violating the traffic rules with proper receipt and amount, that amount will directly go to the govt. But instead, they take bribe any amount lesser than the original amount to fulfill their needs , although its unethical. And people support them equally to avoid rushing to courts.
So, somewhere their hunger is all unethical and above their ethics.

P.S- No offence. There obviously are some respectable people to whom their ethics matter a lot more than their hunger. RESPECT for them.
