Ecclesiastes 2:24
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

Food and the enjoyment of one's labor are gifts from the hand of God, and there is nothing better for a person than to receive them as such. Eating this gift rightly is governed by care for health and restraint rather than indulgence. Unhealthy appetites are to be denied in order to preserve the body for its proper use. Food is to be eaten to God's glory, so that His blessing upon it can rightly be asked.
