Gluttony?

[Timbothefiveth]

Well, my birthday’s coming up, and I usually eat a ton of junk food on that day that I don’t eat most of the year, usually just replacing my regular meals with it, and then eating some over that. Is this glutonny? (spelling?)

 

[Newbie2]

No. It’s what we in the veterinary profession call “dietary indiscretion”.

Eating lots of food for an occasional celebration is not gluttony. Eating lots of food on a regular basis for no other good reason than it’s there and available to eat is.

 

[Kathrin]

A priest told me once that gluttony also has to do with overeating regularly… that it’s natural to eat sometimes more and sometimes less.
