For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
Solomon's question about eating and hastening reveals him praying for food suited to his need. That prayer gives the pattern for seeking health, which is to pray for suitable food and then to act in harmony with that prayer. Acting accordingly means denying unhealthy appetite and instead choosing coarse, simple food prepared with little grease that agrees with human nature.
It also means asking God's blessing upon that simple food, and obedience in this course will be met by God with the blessing of good health. By contrast, wasting means on rich food and indulging appetite dishonors God.
