GLUTTONY (PART OF THE 7 DEADLY SINS SERIES)


I had so many sweets in TEXAS. This looked too good to pass up. Yummy! The best food is always on holidays! This is what I call a chocolate fix with a cherry on top. It tasted just as good as it looked too.

Gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or intoxicants to the point of waste. A misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy.

Depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status. The relative affluence of the society can affect this view both ways. A wealthy group might take pride in the security of having enough food to eat to show it off, but it could also result in a moral backlash when confronted with the reality of those less fortunate.

5 ways to commit gluttony:
* Praepropere - eating too soon
* Laute - eating too expensively
* Nimis - eating too much
* Ardenter - eating too eagerly
* Studiose - eating too daintily

What describes gluttony better than chocolate! In this case I am guilty!

Gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins!
