I had looked it up before I used it. It was a deliberate choice of a word. I'm not Christian and the use of the word "gluttony" was used to precisely mean the over-consumption of food. There is no backtracking.
"Gluttony, derived from the Latin gluttire meaning to gulp down or swallow, means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items to the point of extravagance or waste. In some Christian denominations, it is considered one of the seven deadly sins—a misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy."
My original comment states:
"Technically removing the consequences of gluttony is likely to increase demand for food products and therefore increase its price"
---
I am morally against removing the consequences of gluttony, because it will increase human suffering through hunger as an unintended consequence.
---
People can call me out on it, threaten me with all kinds of abuse, I will not take one inch back from my statement.

Which level are you?
Are you perceiving me as judging those who are obese, and so is judging me for it?
