The statement "If the food is not good, I won't eat too much" translates to "If not r, then not p," which is symbolically represented as $\sim r \rightarrow \sim p$.

Letting R Stand for "The Food Is Good," P Stand ∼p→∼r\sim p \rightarrow \sim r∼p→∼r

Letting R Stand for "The Food Is Good," P Stand $\sim p \rightarrow \sim r$
