We seem to have no problem joking about chips, chocolate, or whatever junk food that we like and crave all the time.
We are constantly tempted to gorge, guzzle, and gobble up whatever food or snacks dished out by our host; and we are promised to have an out-of-this-world experience in this or that restaurants – we are eating ourselves into oblivion. Dr. Glovioell Rowland, a psychologist and researcher, suggests that people are killing themselves with a fork!
Rebecca De Younge raises the questions: “But what if gluttony isn’t first of all about overeating or being overweight, about dieting and doughnuts? What if being fat is not sinful? What if most of the gluttons among us are not those who tip the scales, but the average Christian consumer? Can the health-food eaters and the gourmets be as gluttonous as the junk-food junkies?”
