Obviously, survival is right and natural to us. Eating is part of that survival. When do we reach the point that eating is wrong and that eating is impure violence? Something so natural, so necessary, now wrong. Impossible!... No?
We eat to experience the world; sure, that's not as pure as: "Oh, if I don't eat this, I'll die! I am starving with no choice but to eat because we are heterotrophs. Dismay, dismay!" But it is our job as parts of the universe experiencing itself to experience each other and beyond.
We have hit a point where we can eat seasonal fruits year-round, perfectly ripened and sweet fruit put in cold plastic wrapping, ready for your consumption and engorgement anytime, anywhere, at your nearest grocery store. Impure violence.
This form of eating is unnecessary.
We have gone beyond the point that we eat for survival or eat to experience the world; we eat simply to gorge ourselves. That is gluttony.

do what you want but personally i just love food and making food and sharing it with people. we're only on this giant spinning rock for so long and we happen to live in a time when almost anything we want is available to us, why not enjoy it while we can?

Definitely agree on how the way food is packaged is there ALOT of unnecessary waste, until they figure out bio-degradable packaging [or we finally use beeswax wraps for food sealing!]
I see more as a luxury that we have that fruit is available in our stores, especially with prices these days. I've been craving some strawberries lately..
I feel in my own opinion that to be considered gluttonous is to recognize that either you have been shamed for eating habits or that you might not have a great relationship with food. ED can be very damaging on minds, such as emotional dysregulation that could be messing with your cortisol hormones, which is the flight or fight hormone. Thus telling you to find food now!
I doubt it to be conspicuous consumption, because everyone deserves some nutrition and snackies in their life. You are worth it to have sweets or that one take-out place you love so much!
