Fooding

(Click image to make grande)

It always amazed me that whenever Islam talks about eating, its about not eating something, or eating in moderation, and that the cultures that I encounter (deisi, arab, etc.) are all really big on eating, every event in arabic households involves tons of food and plenty of leftovers, people can even sit down and talk about certain dishes they've had before, it seems completely at odds with our religious direction in terms of food. Also its cool it's always neat when I read an article and notice that its just an affirmation of something the Prophet (S) said a long while ago.

The Prophet said: "Do not eat before you are hungry, and stop eating before you are full"

"1/3 of your stomach for food, 1/3 for water and 1/3 for air."
