PIGISH EATING

[40a top] Gemarah: In regards to the Minchah Korbanos (sacrifices) [in which the Kohen has an obligation to eat], it must be eaten with an appetite and not when one is full [because gluttonous eating is not even considered an eating at all].

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: Our lives should always be lived in moderation, especially in relation to eating. A person should not eat like a pig or a glutton (stuffing oneself to the gills like an animal)  just because he/she likes eating. We should eat to nourish our bodies in holy ways so as to serve Hashem properly.
