Gluttony

ghastly gluttony 

one of seven deadly sins
with appalling good reasons

total self disrespect 
abusing one's own body
that wonderful mechanism

no remorse no thought
millions starving and dying

balancing haves and have nots

M. L. Kiser Date: 10/23/2018 6:23:00 PM Food is food whether it's $1000. a plate or $5. People can enjoy and digest an expensive meal in good conscience though there are many starving; best of luck in the contest.
