James Gillray, 1799

ADVENT is traditionally a time of fasting and penance.

It’s also a good time to consider the subject of gluttony.

The sin of gluttony does not just involve eating too much food. It can also entail thinking too much about food or being too fastidious. You can usually find thin people who are gluttons in natural foods markets. Drinking to the point of inebriation is also a form of gluttony.

A worthwhile sermon on the subject can be found here.
