Ah, thenewgreen, you seem to have a polite way of bringing my word usage back down to Earth (its happened a couple times, and I can't say I usually disagree with you on second read). Abject gluttony might be the wrong phrase, but do I think its undeniable that we, as a people, have a collective eating disorder (combined with a massively incorrect allocation of resources in our food production). According to the CDC's website: "Obesity now affects 17% of all children and adolescents in the United States - triple the rate from just one generation ago."
