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.

Hi buddies.
Stomach think and stomach speak when it is empty I don't think any ethics will come there. I concur that food, clothes and shelter are the basis necessity to live our life when the person don't possess all this things then he won't care about ethics at all. Learning ethics will consider only and only after we have enough food to satisfy our stomach. With empty stomach you will never think about anything else you will be just emphasizing where will you get the food from. Just whenever you come across some beggar ask him do he care about ethics never because beggar never speak, always you will find that his stomach is speaking. Not most I think almost first everything we do in life is to have sufficient food in our life then only we will think about other comfort and then ethics. So my conclusion is that food comes first then ethics and all that.

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.

Hi, friends we all know that food is one of the basic needs for human survival, in fact not only humans but all the creatures that exist in this world. Without ethics also we can live but it is just like an animal. So both should go hand in hand to live like a human being.

For me ethics comes first because there is no use of surviving. We need to live our life. We can take example of freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh who have not taken food for several days in prison because he wanted free India.
There are several examples where human being have given there life for ethics. There is no use of merely surviving. We should live our life. If everyone is ethical there is no problem in the system.

There are varieties of people having different opinions and in my opinion. Food comes first then anyone can think about ethics later. Lets take an example of a hungry person who had not eaten anything for a week then how can he survive without food. First of all, food is required for his/her survival then anyone can think of ethics. So, according to me, food is the basic need of a person and one can't live without it after that anyone can think of ethics. That's all I want to say. Thank you.

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.

Yes. I too think that food comes first, ethics later. As said even by our elders "HEALTH IS WEALTH". If we are not well (physically or mentally) , how can we be able to interact with others, do and manage our work effectively or participate actively in any event? So, in my view, it is the food that must be given preference over the ethics.

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.
