Gluttony, a pleasant imperfection
Considered by the Christian religion as one of the Seven Deadly Sins, gluttony can also be seen as the expression of a pleasant imperfection, a little weakness. Gluttony is associated with the pleasure taken from eating good food and therefore allows us to taste the joys of existence.
"Of all the passions, it seems to me that the only really respectable one is that of gluttony"
Extract from Guy de Maupassant's column "the lovers and the grocers" (Le Gaulois newspaper, 1881).
