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.

The way we think, the same way we present ourself. If gandhiji had not given importance to ethics, we might not have got freedom. It's all depends upon the circumstances prevailing in our life. No doubt food comes first, but to lead a meaningful and respectful life ethics are also important. They must go hand in hand. If a human is made to starve for a day, obiouslly he comes to the importance of food. And due to the high moral values of our great leaders, India has gots its freedom.

Hi friends, According to me, food is very essential for our survival. Without food, we can't alive. If people get hungry first he has to arrange food. Maybe he does not have money he has to take a loan from anyone if it is not possible then he has to beg for food. If I have an empty stomach even I cannot think what is good and what is bad, what should I do, what should I don't do. First, we have to eat to fill our stomach then we have to think. Which one good which one bad.

We can't imagine ethics when we have no food to eat. In this globalized era, everyone want to survive and explore more and for this the basic entitlement is food, clothes and shelter.
Now, after fulfilling the basic needs we should think about ethics because man is a social animal and we belongs to the most intelligent entity of the world who are not only exist but proving that they are the best and it is only possible through coordination and cooperation between them.

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.

Hi friends!
This is Hema. I agree to some extent that food comes first, ethics next. Food is the basic need for all. And we people earning by some means just to fill our bellies. How much we strive hard, its only to satisfy our hunger.
We should not earn by illegal methods. Hunger drives us to commit to the worst situations. But we should mostly see that in this search process we should not commit ourselves to immoral acts.

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.

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.

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.

This is purely a situation and people based discussion. Some of us learned it from childhood do forget our life for ethics. You can do an experiment yourself to know which is important. Be starved for one day and than ask the question to yourself.
So the people who lives on footpath, never try to teach them ethics. Give them food because if not given whom you will teach ethics if they would not survive of hunger.
