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.

Hello everyone, Today We here discuss on the topic food is more important than ethics.

Yes, food is important for everyone at least twice in a day, it will give energy, surviving for a long life. But, if anyone gets food by doing wrong activities like robbery, killing someone for few money, doing wrong things by orders from the other person and many more such activities than it will be wrong. Everyone needs such basic thing but you can't do these activities because this is not a permanent solution. Do such things which involves your hard work and follow ethics. And the day comes you will easily fulfil your basic need easily.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hii friends.

According to my opinion foods comes first then Ethics. Because food is the basic need of a human being. If we don't follow the ethics then we can live longer but if we don't take food then we can't live more than 15 days.

We can see the effect of Food on people who lives in slum areas and who has not sufficient money to fill their stomach twice a day.

These people don't think that we are bothering something they start to walk in wrong ways like to murder someone.

It all happens to fulfill their stomach or to get money.

So we can say that a person doesn't think about ethics when he is hungry.

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.

As far I considered the ethics must come first and then food, being a ethical person in society represents your character. Today's world is moving with tremendous rate and in this moving world we forget our responsibilities and we simply doing anything for food even we taking the life of others for feeding mouth. There are many examples which I can tell you like naxalist , even we normal people can reach the height of egregious for food.

At last I only say that if you can't make your own food then you should not have authority to play with ethics. If ethics is there then only the world's can run.
