Gluttony
Eagerness to eat or lack of strong will to resist pleasure of food? Maybe both. But how many of us pass a candy shop without noticing the wonderful smell of chocolate? What makes us eat one chocolate bar after another? Possible reasons could be: stress, nervousness, ill thyroid, sweet-tooth, problems, eagerness and many others.

Is gluttony a sin? According to Bible: Yes. But in my opinion it is not a sin but a stomach-ache-causing problem which results in obesity, cardiovascular problems, problems with knees and other joints, problems with blood-pressure and breathing and so on. On the other hand I am absolutely not against good cuisine, quite the opposite. Nevertheless, it is better to be safe than sorry.
P.S.: This article should not encourage anybody to overeat himself/herself.
