Simply because tasty food is available and is being offered, one is tempted to overeat. We have air all around us, but we do not breathe in more than we need. The lake is full, but we drink only as much as the thirst craves for. But overeating has become a social evil, fashionable habit. The stomach cries out, 'Enough,' but the tongue insists on more, and man becomes the helpless target of disease. He suffers from corpulence, high blood pressure and diabetes. Moderate food is the best precaution for a healthy life.

- Divine Discourse, September 21, 1979.

Food is God, do not waste food. - Baba
