Mozi not attack, "said:" food drink, referring contemptuously under full Dao disease under section, and the people and the dead, they cannot be counted." The analects of Confucius, recorded by a XiangDang "ten not food," such as "fish and meat in overcoming difficulties defeated not food, the color evil not food, smelly evil not food, cooking, occasionally lost did not eat," "little did not eat food", "feed, when people such as nothing", thus dietetic hygiene cultured is obvious.
