Taittiriya Upanishad 3.7.1

Let him never abuse food, that is the rule. Breath is food, the body eats the food. The body rests on breath, breath rests on the body. This is the food resting on food. He who knows this food resting on food, rests exalted, becomes rich in food, and able to eat food (healthy), becomes great by offspring, cattle, and the splendour of his knowledge (of Brahman), great by fame.

In plain words: Never speak badly of food; that is the rule. Breath and body depend on each other, each feeding the other, and whoever understands this link lives well, with health, family, plenty and a good name.
