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.

Warm greetings to everyone.

I will start with a great statement that a food at a time can help one to quench his/her hunger for that moment but the values and morals i.e. ethics or knowledge can help one to develop a positive attitude and perspective to arrange his foods even in his adverse situations. Having proper ethical values and knowledge, one can easily judge whether his/her attempt for getting food is correct or not because in many times out of haste one may face troubles after getting food in an unethical manner.

In my opinion I think that food and ethics both are important at their places.

Food is the daily need of people. But in todays era of corruption if someone is honest and earns his daily earning legally then he or she is considered mad in our society.

So its like if someone even tries to be ethical then the society does not encourage that.

And in my opinion this may be one of the reason that why our country is still underdeveloped.

Though food is important but that doesnt mean that we should acquire unethical methods to earn money and food.

Think if out of every 100 even 50 try to be ethical in life then our country can become a developed nation!

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.

Ethics comes first then food.

I accept the fact that food is the basic necessity, but prima facie we should not ignore that flouting laws in the name of the food is unacceptable. Sometimes bijou theivery can lead to crimes like murders.

I accept the fact that having the burden of feeding full family leads to such activities but the taste of that recipe will force him again to do that. Scrutinizing the content POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT are the as the main culprits.

In confronting from poverty and unemployment effectual government is needed. Various welfare schemes aiding poorers, providing employment to at least 1 member in each house. This modus operandi can opt, a force of government can be made to implement such schemes and Ethics can be followed despite earning food with hard work.

Is it true "Food Comes First, Ethics Later"?

The above statement is TRUE if our society follows the rule of Survival of Fittest which is also known as the rule of Jungle. In Jungle animals only think about their hunger, in some instances, they will be ready to eat their own kin. There is no concept of ethics in Jungle.

Surely, I can say that being human beings we are following the rule of Jungle. We are thinking about trees, by saying a slogan called "Save Trees". It doesn't mean your literally saving trees for the purpose of Future Generations what does it mean we have outgone our hunger and we are thinking about our future generation which I call it has to be a human being we have some ethics built in our brain from the day we entered into this world.

In my opinion, In the Modern world, the above statement has a little bit of relevance.

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.

As we are all known that, we are the most intelligent species in this earth, we should have certain manners to act with others in the society. Which shows that we are all bond with ethic in our day to day life. Moreover food is also mandatory as we know all.

So, what I say is both food and ethic are mandatory to lead a successful life. They are like side two sides of a same coin.

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.

Ethics make man, but food destroy man.

According to me ethics come first because it will manage your digestive system very well but by excess food you can't manage your digestive system by food ethics will improve your personality and set up your mind according to your work and help us to perform work very well.
