		Wherefore it is evident that gluttony is a sin.
		Now gluttony is apparently the cause of other sins, for a gloss on Psalm 135:10, "Who smote Egypt with their first-born," says: "Lust, concupiscence, pride are the first-born of gluttony." Therefore gluttony is the greatest of sins.

	CBC: 7 Deadly Sins - Gluttony (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The word gluttony stems from the Latin gluttire, meaning to swallow or gulp down, but is also understood to mean overindulgence in any material item - as though, having given up on the promises of the afterlife, one is determined to enjoy oneself here on Earth.
		According to legend, gluttony became a sin because (in the case of overindulgence in drink) it would cause a hangover and, in turn, prevent a person from attending church.
		It is similarly considered one of the lesser sins, perhaps because it is easier for the glutton to change his or her habits when confronted with evidence of the transgression: that round belly is pretty hard to ignore.
