After water, man's most urgent requirement is food.

Answer 2

One is not more likely to kill than the other. Without either the chances are 100% that you will die.

Water, because our bodies need it to survive. You can get up to 2 weeks without food, but without water you can get maybe 3 days of life.

Answer 7

3 weeks without food

3 days without water

3 minutes without air

goodbye

Answer 8

Yes, water is the one we need the most.  We can only live a few days without water, but we can survive several weeks without food.  Of course, we have to have both to survive in the long run, but water is the more urgent need.

Answer 9

Water is much, much, much mroe important. A body can live of glycogen and fat for a few days, without having anything to eat, but if you dont drink for a day the results will be nasty.

Answer 10

Neither.  But we can survive longer without food.

Minutes without oxygen,

Days without water,

Weeks without food.

Answer 11

Humans can't survive without neither. Except, water is most essential and we can go for a little while without food. Food has certain nutrients that we need for survival and it has more in it than water. So, what my answer would be to your question is food as what I said. We can go for about 2 or so weeks without it.

Answer 12

Humans can survive I think it is up to two weeks without food (though most wouldnt survive that long), but only three days without water before dehydration would kill you. So, you can survive LONGER without food than water...but, without one or the other, you're gonna die either way.

Answer 13

Food, water is deffinatly more importante. well actually they r both important, but humans need water more.

:D

Answer 14

The human body will feed off its own fat and nutrient storage long after we stop eating.  People have been known to live for quite a while through starvation.  Dehydration will kill us much quicker as the cells will break down and the organs will fail.

Answer 15

Neither.  We need both.

Short term, for an average body weight,  lack of water will cause death before lack  of food.

Actually lack of air comes first.
