How do you teach a 1 year old "Naughty"
DS keeps throwing his lunch on the floor. I say no and tell him its naughty and he just cries. Then does it again !!!!

Anyway, you cannot laugh or smile when you tell your DS off for doing something. Hold a stern face and say no in a stern voice too. We use baby sign language, so we use the sign for "no" too, which seems to be working... for now at least.
My dd went through this at one point, tended to be when she didnt want anymore. We just said No and took her bowl away. If she made out that she wanted her food, we just said if you want your food then you eat it, you do not throw it on the floor.
If he repeats it and then cries when you take it away, just ignore him. He will be doing it for attention, so if you say no or ignore he should get bored and stop.
Being stern and looking at him at eye level and keeping a straight face are important. My husband at times i have to tell him off or tell him to look away as hes the type of person who will smile/giggle if my daughter tries to be cheeky! Not very sueful when you are teaching right from wrong!
With other things we just say no and sometimes he listens! It's a phase I believe as with everything else! Isaac at nearly 3 doesn't throw any food on the floor any more!

I'll keep going with the giving it to him a couple of times and then taking it away. I just worry because for example yesterday, he didn't even have one piece of sandwich so I was worried he wouldn't eat any lunch ...
