http://foodmarket.com/news/2005011701.html This 115 pound girl eats a 11 pound burger in 2 hours. Kate herself admits she eats "maybe four times a day." She is known, however, as a big eater, by any measure. "My friends joke around, saying I have a fat kid living inside of me," said the slim student.
one interesting thing we found was that the very etymology of the word "gluttony" is gluttonous--it comes from a latin word meaning "to gulp or swallow". we don't think it really has to apply to food, either. it's overindulgence in anything. there's an "are you a glutton?" quiz on beliefnet.com
Examples of Gluttony: Though they may not only be on the internet, there is an incredible amount of examples of gluttony in our modern world. For example, our festivals or raves are our generations equivalent of the Roman vomitoriums. The obsession with freedom, a lack of any rules, a place where you can literally do anything you want. People at these events are gluttons for freedom, drugs, and a mess of other things. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with things like this, simply that they are gluttonous.
Does gluttony only relate to food: "Gluttony denotes, not any desire of eating and drinking, but an inordinate desire... leaving the order of reason, wherein the good of moral virtue consists." (2, 148, ad 1) -Thomas Aquinas
Gluttony is not simply over-eating, rather it is an obsession with having more and more of any given thing, especially love for that thing beyond your love for God.
Is Abstinence a contrary Virtue: Abstinence is a contrary virtue to gluttony, but not only in as a lack of sex. If it means to abstain from over-indulgence, in other words to maintain your love for God over anything else, then you have succeeded in abstinence.
The moral deformity discernible in this vice lies in its defiance of the order postulated by reason, which prescribes necessity as the measure of indulgence in eating and drinking. This deordination, according to the teaching of the Angelic Doctor, may happen in five ways which are set forth in the scholastic verse: "Prae-propere, laute, nimis, ardenter, studiose" or, according to the apt rendering of Father Joseph Rickably: too soon, too expensively, too much, too eagerly, too daintily. Clearly one who uses food or drink in such a way as to injure his health or impair the mental equipment needed for the discharge of his duties, is guilty of the sin of gluttony.

It's interesting that "too daintily" is in here. As with many other sins, we find that the extreme of the virtue can also be sinful.
has anyone checked out their ecological footprint lately?
Yes it does realte to food, and I would think Abstinence could be a contrary virtue. But I wont deny that a delicious feast will not be missed by me. Long table laden in the aroma of heaven, with laughter, and merry. A prim cut, with a pinch of salt, and marinated with red wine with spice from accrose the globel. Then Smoked on a grill with Mesquite-had picked from dead branches as not to dammage the tree. Accompanied with a side of grilled asparagus marinated in olive oil and lime pepper. And a free cold coke.
http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.index1.html We looked through the nutrition facts at McDonald's and found that a double quarter pounder w/ cheese and a large fries and coca cola 1620 Calories. The average person has a 2000 Calorie diet. 1. Gluttony by definition is just food and drink, however over indulging in things other then sex and money (which have there own categories,) could go into gluttony. IE: drugs, music, sleep 2. Restraint would be a better word then abstinence because we feel abstinence is too strict of a word.Some is obviously okay (We can't live without food and drink) but it becomes a problem when we overindulge.
This is nasty, tre nasty. Good Morning Burgers, a recipie taken from an idea introduced by Homer Simpson (who should never give nutritional advice in the first place). http://crushedredpartycup.blogspot.com/2007/05/good-morning-burgers.html
"Twenty-six percent of Americans base the amount of food they consume on how much they are served." Hallie and Zoe found this quote at this website: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1272/is_2675_130/ai_77400364 We thought it was sad to think about how America has been increasing the amount of food in a portion. This is a form of gluttony today.

1. No, gluttony is over indulgence in any field: materials, sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
2. yes, because they are opposites of each other, gluttony is over indulgence, abstinence some can argue is deprivation.

1 : excess in eating or drinking
2 : greedy or excessive indulgence
most definitions of gluttony revolve around food but not all of them.
