Farmers are more beneficial to the society than Doctors.

Explanation:

To the mind of any reasonable man, the answer is simple that food is as important to human beings as breathing itself. The first profession known to man existence is hunting and gathering skills which later manifested into farming and therefore, Farmers are better than Doctors.

No person can attest to surviving without food. Food strengthens the human system and it is capable of fortifying the immune system to avoid illness. To this point alone, it shows why farmers are more important and necessary to the continuation of society and existence of man. It could, however, be said that farmers keep us alive because if there is no food, people will die.

The farmers provide us all foods that are needed to help us grow stronger, healthier and wiser and this would not have been possible if farmers do not exist.

On the other hand, one can easily do away with Doctors when one is taking a healthy diet. Although sometimes the Doctors become useful in treating diseases in humans and saving lives during accidents but many of the medicines used in treating patients by Doctors come from foods and plants grown by the farmers.

People sit together to eat products from farmers and this brings the families together and strangers closer. Food is the main crux of festivities, parties and holidays and all of these are made possible because of the ceaseless effort of farmers. On the other hand, visiting doctors is not usually a happy moment for people except visiting the doctors for delivery of the newborn and for some religious people, they only pray for good health and avoid visiting the doctors.

On many occasions, it has been shown that Doctors have not been on top of their job as they ought to even with the oath they take to save people's lives. Some of the Doctors act of negligence and not observing due diligence on their part and this has caused some families to lose their members to death of some forms of deformities. For one to be a doctor, it requires years of study in school and expending so much money and not every family can afford it. Unlike farming, the profession is one that is usually passed down bloodlines and generations without years of study in school and has been perfect to the point of leaving no room for mistakes. The profession is as old as time itself.

To this end, it can be said that Farmers have not only contributed to the growth and development of humanity but they are the crux of humanity itself and therefore, Farmers are more beneficial to the society than Doctors.
