成语——因噎废食

Meaning of the Idiom

yin ye fei shi（give up eating for fear of choking ）

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.

因噎废食

 [yīn yē fèi shí]，原意是指因为有人吃饭噎死了，就想让天下人都不吃饭。后比喻要做的事情由于出了点小毛病或怕出问题就索性不去干。

出自《吕氏春秋·荡兵》。
