I don't have too much to say about gluttony. It is considered a simple sin whose prevention is achieved through self-control of one's gourmet appetites.
Gluttony is the reason why the world is filling up with fat people. They aren't evil or stupid, though they may be weak and otherwise unable to put down their forks when presented with another helping of brie.
Sure, things smothered in molten cheese and deep-fryer fats may be wholeheartedly delicious, but when consumed continually or to excess, these delectables become commonplace and unremarkable.
Every meal should be a banquet, but that refers to the gusto with which the repast is attacked, and the company one picks to share it.
Gluttony is a downer sin - it can't take us anywhere but a pit of hedonistic ecstacy. The only thing wrong with enjoying these is when they are done to the exclusion of high pleasures - there's so much more to experience.
