Judaism has a rich tradition around food — blessings before and after eating, Shabbat and holiday meals, and detailed dietary laws. But this appreciation for food comes with clear boundaries against excess. Maimonides, who was a physician as well as a rabbi, gave specific dietary advice that reads like modern nutritional guidance: eat to three-quarters full, eat slowly, and avoid overeating. The concept of ba'al tashchit (wanton destruction) applies to wasting food through gluttony. The Talmud teaches that at the table, a person is like an altar — eating should be a mindful, sacred act, not a mindless indulgence. On Shabbat, Jews are commanded to enjoy festive meals, but even this enjoyment has boundaries.
