gluttony entails 'overweight'--vice
versa; it means consuming more [calories--in this case] than is
necessary..
(e.g.) if gluttony is a function of covetousness (why not?),
partic in an environment where starvation is a reality, too--and the
overfed/overeaters are 40% while another 40% starve, then gluttons are in
the position of (forced) covetousness where 'forced' relates to the 'force' of
habit/habitually even stealing food from others..
and it easily becomes, as someone
commented, a matter of 'policy'...
even a political purpose to steal (e.g.,
food)...easily...from the (cyclical) starving...and use it as a political
weapon..(e.g.) vs. 'oil'
ftr, Republicans (like Iz) taught me to
eat everything on my plate and load it up again from my own
stove/refrig..groc store..Burger King..farm/s (land, rivers, lakes, highways,
towns, harbors, refineries..)..bank account/s..stock portfolio/s..bomb
factory/s..
but, if we pursue this far enough,
DavidM, it'll become evident that all (inc Christian)
politicians thrive on certain margins of global corruption while (we the)
people (conveniently 'think with there stomach/s' (another Dylan
line)...
which is interesting in that
JC--though he was a perceived glutton (he even said, 'the Son of man came eating
and drinking')--often fasted...
it mentions somewhere that he
went over a month without eating...could go days w/o
food..
IOW, there all kinds of evidence that he
took control of, responsibility for, his lifestyle--also, for us..he
loved us..
and that's at the core of this issue,
too;
also, that it's obviously impossible
to take this responsibility at an American voting booth...or even at
an American church
'ye shall find rest for your
souls' is eschatological--not a dream..
..or a nightmare
