In the past, there was a man who had a large appetite.
When he ate, he devoured ravenously.
Once he wasn't careful enough so that a fishbone got stuck in his throat.
The food was blocked in his esophagus, and he could neither swallow nor vomit.
So he called a physician, but the physician could do nothing.
The people around looked at him in anxiety.
Finally, as he couldn't breathe, he died of choking.
Afterwards, someone went so far as to issue a ban:
Eating is forbidden as from today for the reason that no one will be choked to death if people give up eating.
