  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 sinsâa misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy. == in judaism == according to the list of 613 commandments that jews must keep according to the rambam, gluttony or excessive eating or drinking is prohibited. it is listed as #169. not to eat or drink like a glutton or a drunkard (not to rebel against father or mother) (ccn106). == in catholicism == thumb|a woodcut representing gluttony church leaders from the ascetic middle ages took a more expansive view of gluttony: pope gregory i, a doctor of the church, described the following ways by which one can commit sin of gluttony, and corresponding biblical examples for each of them: 1. eating before the time of meals in order to satisfy the palate. :biblical example: jonathan eating a little honey, when his father saul commanded no food to be taken before the evening. (note that this text is only approximately illustrative, as in this account, jonathan did not know he was eating too early.) 2. seeking delicacies and better quality of food to gratify the "vile sense of taste." :biblical example: when israelites escaping from egypt complained, "who shall give us flesh to eat? we remember the fish which we did eat in egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons, and the leeks and the onions and the garlic," god rained fowls for them to eat but punished them 500 years later. 3. seeking to stimulate the palate with sauces and seasonings. :biblical example: two sons of eli the high priest made the sacrificial meat to be cooked in one manner rather than another. they were met with death. 4. exceeding the necessary quantity of food. :biblical example: one of the sins of sodom was "fullness of bread." 5. taking food with too much eagerness
