He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be

Summary

This quote suggests that our ability to appreciate and savor the true taste of food determines whether or not we become gluttonous. If someone is able to truly recognize and enjoy the flavors of their meals, they are unlikely to overindulge, as they are satisfied with the quality of the food.

Overall, the quote emphasizes the importance of mindful eating and valuing the true essence of food.
