Gluttony

From The King James Bible
Scripture warns against gluttony as a form of self-indulgence linked with drunkenness, laziness, and worldliness, urging temperance and the discipline of bodily appetites. Excess in food is treated as a moral and spiritual failure, not merely a dietary one.
Proverbs 23:20

Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh — for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty.
