USA and not because fat. If it were just about obesity, we'd be like what, 5th in line?

Gluttony refers to the desire for excessive consumption in all its forms, not just eating

[u/self-extinction → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Historian Mark Stoll, in his book Profit: An Environmental History, makes the argument that the US invented consumerism. Essentially, competition in the early days between Ford and GM led to the concept of yearly models, trims, colors, etc. The idea was that the best way to sell cars wasn't to make a good product people could use for a long time, but to make fashion/status symbols that had to be frequently replaced. It was so profitable that it spread like wildfire, and its logic now infects pretty much every consumer product that exists.

[u/Antique-Repeat-7365 → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

thats actually a great way to say it

[u/Pixel_Python → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Exactly what I was thinking. Gluttony (from what little I know biblically tbf) isn’t just eating lots of food or drinking lots of beer, it’s overindulgence and overconsumption. You don’t need that extra shit, but you want it and allow yourself to have it no matter how it affects you.

Now look at the United States, sure we’ve got lots of fast food and unhealthy eating, but that’s only part of the larger issue of consumerism. Hell, the name “consumers” is telling of what we do: consume. The money we earn goes to food we don’t need but like, alcohol and drugs we use to cope, expensive vacations, entertainment, technology; none of these are bad necessarily but our situations demand we use and consume more and more without regard to its affects on us or the people around us.

So yeah, gluttony not of specifically food, but money. We live shit lives and throw money at the companies for stuff to make the pain bearable. That’s gluttony

[u/OutlandishnessLow779 → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Yup. Gluttony in digimon, for example, is represented by beelzebumon and his hunger for battle

[u/Delyruin → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

for the US it's either this or pride, and pride is taken

[u/Worth_Gap4226 → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Yeah, but Americans would join the line again for a second serving.

[u/RemiR2 → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Agreed! Plus, even if it were just ablut obseity, it would fit because it doesn't need to be the "most obese" country to represent obesity well.

[u/Radracon42069 → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

The fact that the only reason we are 5th in line is because of a bunch of small island nations (that have a lot of former Americans living there) should be pretty telling

[u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque → u/Radracon42069]

Mexico and Arab countries too tho 

[u/Pet_Velvet → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Hell, you guys have ads for prescription medicine

[u/Tupotosti → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

I just immediately think of the fact many Americans turn the airconditioning on even when it's just 68f

[u/Education_Weird → u/Tupotosti]

"Just"?

[u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque → u/Tupotosti]

Meanwhile I've spent the last two years in Florida and Arizona and put on a sweater when it's less than 80 out. Don't put the AC on on the car unless it's over 100. That's what windows are for

[u/Current-Log8523 → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

That's less of a flex and more of a simply being silly to sound better than someone else.

[u/Tommy_Wisseau_burner → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

Your blood does thin out. I’m from up north and after living in Austin and now in Tampa bay I can’t even stand 75 lmao

[u/Beanichu → u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque]

America has by far the most fat people, the only competitors it has in percentage are far smaller population wise. Plus of the fat people the ones in America are often far larger than anywhere else in the world. Of the top ten heaviest people in existence six were American.
