("Resh Lakish said: One who eats 'akhilah gasah' on Yom Kippur is exempt... Rabbi Yirmiyah said in the name of Resh Lakish: A non-priest who ate terumah in 'akhilah gasah' pays the principal but does not pay the additional fifth" – Yoma 80b. Also: "And 'akhilah gasah' for any person is like a deadly poison, and it is the main cause of all illnesses" – Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Deot, Chapter 4, 14, 103. Also: "The third wise man comes and decides between them, saying: For me, eating is good—and specifically 'akhilah gasah', eating with appetite!" – Sholem Aleichem, The Man with a Stomach, 78)
