Greetings to all, firstly I would like to thank all for giving me the opportunity.

Obviously, this is a well-known topic but it is as important as ever. My opinion on "food comes first, ethics later" is not much different from my friends. The only source of energy in all living things is food it may be in different forms. It proves if one wants to live, without energy life is not possible, food is needed. In society, some ethics should be there that exist in the members of society and for their existence food is needed. Thus, it is right in my point of view that "food comes first, ethics later".

Both are on opposite side, but if we consider today's world, then we will realise that food comes first then ethics. It is because of corruption increases which automatically leads to increase in the inflation which directly affect the day-to-day life of a middle class society, who lives with minimum salary but with high expenses. So, if he thinks about ethics, then he will not able to fulfill the foody needs of his family or vice- versa. However, a rich or poor person has full of ethics in their lives, but if they will make starve for one day, then they will realise the importance of food.

Food or ethics? If you ask this anyone will say definitely food is necessary for survival but then for being able to be called a human being ethics are as important It would be foolish to ask a man dying of starvation to satisfy his hunger by the values and ethics but at the same time we can't rob someone to meet our needs. There is a certain means to fill our bellies and that's what ethics tell us. If only food was important then why spend so much precious time and money teaching children the way of living life in society. A man devoid of ethics would be no different from animals I guess.

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.

Well my dear friends,

According to me food comes first. If you are hungry you won't have the power to think what is ethical and what is not. We always see peoples committing crimes, like murdering someone, or looting and we say that those peoples do not posses any ethics. Same time we some time blame prostitutes of making money out of selling their body.

But we should think why is he/she doing that. No one want to be criminal. Actually poverty make them. When call comes from our stomach we forget every thing.

So I want to say ethics are important but not more than food.

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.

Hi friends here Ethics and food have their own Importance.

For a Poor or a hungry man Food is the main thing to be fulfilled. He hunts for whatever way he can find it. It also depends on the character of the person if he wants to get that in nice way by putting ethical values in mind by giving respect to the society where we live.

It depends however Ethics are like the back bone of the society if a person who is rich or having basic requirements which a person should have he definitely like to be good. Because no one wants to be bad in the society.

Hello everyone! thank you for giving me an opportunity to talk about this topic.

In my opinion, there is no comparison between food and ethics, as both the things are necessary in one's life. Human cannot live without food and if he does not follow his ethics to earns this food then he would not like to eat it. Human's existence is there one if there is food, but in my opinion food and ethics go hand in hand. There are many people who will never compromise their ethics for food, so in my opinion there is nothing superior between food and ethics.

I want to say that Food comes first as compared to ethic because food is the survival human being if they do not eat food they will not survive, if they do not survive then ethic has no meaning.

For ex :- A beggar who have not enough money to eat food, he only pray the god to give me food to survive my life.

Ethic :- Ethic is for rich people who have some rule and regulation in his life. They enough food to survive his life.

IF THERE IS FOOD THEN ETHIC COMES, AND THERE IS NO FOOD THEN THERE IS NO ETHIC.

SO, FOOD COMES FIRST, AS ETHIC LATER.

Undoubtedly, we all do agree with the fact that " food comes before ethics " and this is axiomatic as well. Food is the basic need of an individual and one cannot be deprived of such need.

If one is unemployed, poor, and has not even a single penny and he/she has not eaten food since the last few days and ultimately, here comes a situation of death due to starvation. In such a hectic situation, you might arrange food, no matter from where it comes.

Thus, ethics are no longer in consideration when food is our first priority.
