Seems to me the more you put into the drain, the more the likelihood of (eventually) gumming things up. We just "insinkerate" what we can't get rid of any other way.
One thing to keep in mind ... never put stringing veggies in there ... eg alfalfa sprouts, or whatever. It locks it up and won't drain which means you get to disassemble and clear it.
