Six Types of Gluttony

Written by Charlie Dean

Topics: Faith, Food

On Sunday, I talked about Thomas Aquinas’ six ways to commit gluttony.  I found them pretty amusing, so here they are!

⁃    Praepropere – eating too soon.
⁃    Laute – eating too expensively
⁃    Nimis – eating too much.
⁃    Ardenter – eating too eagerly
⁃    Studiose – eating too daintily
⁃    Forente - eating wildly

I’m not sure exactly what he had in mind in terms of “eating wildly,” but I’m sure I’ve done it, since I’ve most assuredly committed the other five!
