Question

Ken looked as his juice, apple, and sandwich. His friend, Jessica, had several pizza slices and cake. He looked longingly at her lunch and then stopped himself. Enough is as good as a feast, he remembered. Sure enough, Ken felt full at the end of his lunch and so did Jessica. However, Jessica had a lot of leftovers.

What is the meaning of the adage or proverb enough is as good as a feast?

Don't eat too much food all at once.
Having enough of something is plenty.
Having leftovers is a good use of food.
Remember to only eat healthy food.

Answer 1

Don't eat too much food all at once.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proverb, "enough is as good as a feast" means that it does not make sense to have too much of something when you can be satisfied with just the right amount. It applies to both food and other things that can be used. This means that overindulgence in food and other things/activities is not right.

Only the right amount of something is needed at a particular point in time. In the context of the sentence above, it means that Ken should not eat all the food at a go.
