When you sit at a fancy banquet, do not let your mouth hang open, and do not say, "Look all that food ." It is impolite to have a greedy eye. Remember that, nothing in creation is greedier than the eye. That is why it sheds tears so often.
Do not reach out for everything you see, and do not elbow people out of your way to get the food. Be considerate of the other people at the table and treat them the way you want to be treated.
When you get your food, eat it like a human being. Do not smack and slurp, nobody can stand that. Its good manners to be the first to stop eating. Starving yourself is offensive. If there are many people present, do not be the first one to be served. A little bit is plenty for any one with good manners.
Besides, you will not run short of breath when you go to bed. People who eat too much get stomachache from eating too much, go off and vomit and you will feel better.
Friends, if you listen and you understand what l am saying and put it into practice, one of you in the days to come, will thank me for that.
Be moderate in everything you do and you will never get sick.
