"EAT TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO EAT."
There is pleasure in eating, because God has given us the sense of taste,
that we may enjoy our food. But not everything which pleases this sense is
good for the body, so we should learn what things are wholesome and choose
them for our food and drink, refusing everything which is unwholesome.
Those who obey these rules "_eat to live_" and never become drunkards or
gluttons.
