Food Comes First, Ethics Later

Ethics are the moral values which are being taught since childhood. Ethics does play important role but in real life it is hardly followed by some individual. Ethics are calculated within ourselves then also we do wrong thing like we are aware of the traffic rules but then also some breaks, we are aware that robbery is wrong deed but then also we do some by habit and some by need. In this world first come is always served first. But a person who do not possess to have food two times what he will do with ethics.

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.

In my opinion food comes first and ethics later because in today's life there are three basic amenities required for survival of any person and these are food, cloth and shelter. Out of these three food is most important one. When it comes for food then no one see any ethics there because ethics is related to individual behaviour. If any have everything in his life(money) then they follow their ethics then they thinks about their behaviour and change the way of living and do everything which comes in their etics.

According to me I totally agree with this statement that food comes first and ethics later.

Its because food becomes the primary need of each and every human being today.

If there is food then ethic comes and if there is no food then there are no ethics.

How can ethics and morals supercede the basic requirement of a man?

An empty stomach is a root cause of deviation from all morality. Why animal began to kill another animal:not because of his safety but because of his food requirement. It is the food scarcity that gives birth to major unfair elements of society like robbery, stealing and even killing. We do not witness these things much in a rich country. When there is money in hand, there is a sound presence of healthy mind. People can then work upon to improve their code of conduct, their behaviour etc. Ethics are important to control the greed of man when he intends to adopt unfair means to interfere into another man's daily bread and butter. Yaar, we should live and let others live more peacefully. Our country is self sufficient in food and grain production. But important thing is that there is no proper flow of grains from top level to bottom level. Make them to reach every home so that beggars can be satisfied and feel healthier to do hard work and make their living by ethical means.

Ethics and food are the two sides of a coin. If you talk about the ethic of a person who is hungry and searching for food his ethics can't help him out. Because our ethics can't fulfill the hungry stomach of a person. Hence food comes first than the ethics. Food is the basic need of a human being.

Hello friends,

I agree the statement that the food comes first and the ethics later as we seen in real world so many of peoples are from poor background and some of them are lack food and other facilities but they are having utmost IQ brain power, hence the government should take the responsibility of these people and should give basic needs, they are mainly from the backward categories so government has to provide basic needs to such people and let them to give contribution to the improvement of our nation.

I agree with the statement food comes first but at the same time ethics are also important because without ethics we'll be even like a terrorist or murderer or a sadist or we can even do corruption then what is the use of this birth? everyone wants to lead their life very happily but is it write getting happiness in a wrong way? I don't think so. So both food and ethics are important for every life.

Food and ethics are equally important for human society. Otherwise we would be just animals.

So many responses say that food comes first because it is necessary for survival. That sounds noble and we may maintain that view until we are on the receiving end; For example, when a hungry, desperate man, with a weapon, a gun maybe, has entered our home.

We would want that hungry man to have some principle, some ethics; to respect our lives, the lives of our loved ones, to respect our right to our property. We would want that hungry man to act with principle, to ask first rather than to take; to think it below him to steal, in spite of his hunger.

Food and ethics are equally important. Otherwise we would be living in a jungle.

Food comes 1st. Is it? We are not animals, we are Human.

Just consider an example - when Maharana Pratap were in jungle, her daughter had two rotis of grass in which she gave one to his younger brother even she were too hungry. If food comes first then she had theft of his brother. So I think we should be ethical otherwise food can get be get under gunpoint and we will be animal in the face of human.
