Chapter 3, Mishna 1
Comparing the stringencies that ensure the purity of vessels which handle non-sacred foods, non-sacred foods prepared for βchaverimβ (who made sure to eat all foods in a state of ritual purity), and sacrificial foods that must be eaten and handled at the highest levels or ritual purity. The interesting wrinkle is how the Sages designed their decrees to accommodate the piety of the chaverim without offending the sensitivities of the common people.
