Eating habit is one of the most important thing we have to learn as human beings, it is very very necessary among everyone so as to know when where and how to eat,
Including places we are at the moment because there are some places in which one don't have to expose his or her bad eating habit to avoid embarrassment.
For example where people gather and having an important meeting such as official meetings is very necessary that as an individual you comport yourself so as to not show that bad eating habit.
Learning of eating habits can be done in so many ways, it can be through our elderly ones , it can be at home where our parents (dad mom and our siblings) teaches us several ways of good eating habit,
It can also be in school where we learn from our different school teachers and our various friends as well.
It is good we learn good eating habit because sometimes when we don't learn it , it will bring us a lot of insults in the public even to the extent of some people been like is this person okay, does he or she has home training at all.
Like the Igbo mother's will say "azukwara gi azu" meaning if the person really has a proper training.
Those days of old when i was still young, then at home mummy will always correct us anytime me and my siblings are eating, telling us the most necessary things we need to hear .
Sometimes when we talk when eating my mom will tell us no that it is very bad to talk when it , that we might be choke when we are talking while eating and if that happens that we will be taken to the hospital and anytime she talks and mentions hospital we will all comport and queue to that in which she is saying because we all were afraid of the hospital very much afraid.
There was this our friend then that was sick so when she goes to the hospital she will be given injection and the baby will cry even when the reach home and that was why anytime my mom mentions hospital all of us will comport because we don't want to near that place called hospital so that we will not be given injection to avoid crying..

But those training at home really help me though then it was as if it was a trait , that my mom will always use hospital for us, but that was just for us to know the right thing and with that non of us will talk till we finish eating.
Another aspect of learning eating habit was when i was in the boarding school, boarding school really knows how to train people in the aspect of eating.
That is a place where you learn where, when ,how and quantity of food to eat. Because some of us in our various homes don't know that , many don't know the quantity of food they can finish and that is why they keep wasting food up and down in their various homes.
In the boarding school then everything is been regulated for example in the morning maybe breakfast will be by 7;30AM, lunch will be by 1:30pm , while dinner will be by 8:00pm.
This is how it was in my school then and this helped me alot, even till now i maintain this time interval but one's it is more than 8pm i don't take night food...
It is really good to train yourself on good eating habits because it really helps in many ways.

Your post highlights the importance of good eating habits so well! The childhood fear of hospitals as a teaching tool made me smile—mothers always know how to keep us in check. Learning from home and boarding school truly shapes lifelong habits!
Yes dear it's really a big lesson.
Thanks for engaging in my post.
I just remembered my boarding school days and how my life was programmed back then. Eating a particular food at a particular time every week, lol. Good ol' days.
Those days where really good and full of training
