When Feeding Fish...

When I feed my fish, a good amount of the food gets sucked up by the overflow. Do you all have this problem? For those of you who may have experienced this, do you turn off your return pump so that the overflow stops? Does turning the pump off everytime you feed kill the motor after a while?
 
Yeah, I thought about buying a DJ power strip to make turning off the pump easy. I can't decide whether it's worth it or not. Right now I leave the pump on. The fish get enough to eat, but the sponge in my overflow gets filthy and I have to clean it every 2-3 days so that the overflow doesn't back up...
