You can certainly see the wisdom Solomon had just in these first two chapters. In the first chapter he spoke of weather patterns. In this one we can see he had everything a man could desire, and even more, and said it was all vanity.
The one thing he seemed to say was ok was eating.... haha
24. There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

"The expression "to eat and drink" is sometimes used of thoughtless indulgence in the present, as—"Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die." But it has a better and deeper meaning, which we believe is the meaning here. That meaning is a contentment and rejoicing: in God for the basic simplicities of life, contrasted to pride and seeking: great things." RENE
Nick Mammone, was one that loved to eat as well....as we scarfed down our food, he would say: "You eat....I dine" Simple pleasures.
