What do you mean? If I eat it if it hits the floor? NO! no floor is clean enough for me.

@andriaperry.What rules, if any, do you eat by? For instance, do you believe that “It’s not food if it comes to you through the window of a car” or that “One should always leave the table a little bit hungry”? Journalist Michael Pollan has recently written a book that outlines 64 simple principles for eating that will both keep you healthy and help the planet.

We've been to Guatemala, but don't remember that door. My food rules are to serve everything with a beautiful table setting and fresh flowers. Of course, the food should look good enough to eat and be healthy (no GMOs, no preservatives, no food coloring, sugar free, no salt added) unfrozen, organic, prime, and top quality. It goes without saying to chew with our mouth closed, no speaking with a full mouth, and no blowing your nose at the table.

@amadeo That's why I didn't remember the door. . When we travel, we enjoy looking at old and unusual doors.

My dad always said eat whatever is served . . . you don't like it, you don't have to eat - but don't expect to be served anything else!

As long as it's edible, it's food. I grew up with the rule that you had to eat everything on your plate. Because I didn't always like everything put on my plate, I changed that up for my kids. They could take what they liked. My in-laws had the rule that you had to try everything, even what you didn't like, and take what she called a no-thank-you portion.

It reminds me of old prison gates. Food rule..show gratitude to what you have on your plate, say a thankful prayer to Nature and not to waste anything on your plate. So take what you can consume. And of course I cook a healthy meal.

Mine is say your graces before eating, thank the Lord that there is food on the table and to be able to choose what to eat and what to serve is a bonus when there are a lot of starving and deprived people around the world. Yes observe basic proper table manners always.

@rakski something like thatWhat rules, if any, do you eat by? For instance, do you believe that “It’s not food if it comes to you through the window of a car” or that “One should always leave the table a little bit hungry”? Journalist Michael Pollan has recently written a book that outlines 64 simple principles for eating that will both keep you healthy and help the planet.

Food rule is to finish everything on your plate. And to say your prayers before and after meal. But sometimes, I forget to pray when I am starving. sorry

Food rules are no throwing it around, and there is always enough in case someone stops by. Eating locally grown and fresh food is best, when available.

Not really rules, always eat sitting at a table in real ceramic dishes. Avoid food that does not look fresh, never over eat.

When I was growing up my mom always said "clean your plate because there are children starving in other countries" I don't follow that rule anymore. Now my rule is everything in moderation

Food rules? We try to have our hand in our food- by that I mean that we grind our wheat from wheat kernels. I make the bread that we eat and we generally eat from what is called 'scratch.' We make our own peanut butter. At this point we're not eating much meat. We also eat from local farmers if we can and some from our garden. The more natural a food is the better! Very little white and processed here though we do vegie burgers.
