Silsilah as-Sahihah 2225 — Do not give too much importance to food

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The food of the son of Adam has set forth an example for the world. You see what comes out from the son of Adam (in the form of excrement) after he eats; even if the food is spiced and salted, he knows what it ultimately becomes."
