The answer

The Hadith: "Indeed, it is a form of extravagance to eat everything you desire," was narrated by Ibn Majah from Anas ibn Malik, and by Abu Ya'la. Al-Albani judged it to be fabricated (Mawdu'), and Sheikh Husayn Asad said: "Its chain of transmission is a series of defects." A fabricated Hadith is not permissible to narrate, nor to act upon, nor is its attribution to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sound.
