Gluttony is a sin

Gluttony alone cannot account for the rapid rise in obesity. Last week I had a sweet tooth and started eating a bit of sweets. Not much, a cookie here and there, yet I ended up putting on five kilograms. There is no way I ate five kilograms in cookies, that would be several buckets full of cookies.
So what is going on here. The only conclusion I can draw is that the sugar in the cookies is a form of poison that makes your body do something it should not do, i.e. form more fat tissue. This is not about calories, the body can normally regulate what to keep and what to excrete again (anyone who has drunk too much water knows that), but modern food is full of crap that disrupts these processes.

You are correct. Gluttony isn't the only reason why obesity is on the rise. Sloth has just a big a role in the proliferation of obesity.

Is he in hell bros?

That's like saying it isn't the fire that burns you, but the heat. People don't just magically become lazy, and being lazy doesn't make you hungry enough to put on ~300 extra pounds. Anyone that's done extended multi-day water fasts knows how much crazy energy you can get from basically doing nothing.
Brody Robinson
I didn't say it was ONLY sloth, but sloth does play a big role in it like gluttony does. When they work together they produce obesity.
Michael Roberts
And I'm saying that blaming either of those is like blaming the heat for burning you instead of the fire. Saying that "fire and heat work together to burn you" doesn't really add anything to the question of how one got burned in the first place. These sins are symptoms, not causes.
Nicholas Mitchell
in the context of the obesity epidemic anyway. People that were filled with sloth and gluttony a mere hundred years ago might've still gained some weight, but it wouldn't have reached anywhere near the proportions it does now.

I'm going to have to disagree with you still. Sins are not just mere symptoms, but are something that can cause behavior in man. See 2 Samuel 12: 1-14
2 Samuel 12:1-14 King James Version (KJV)
>5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
you see King David lust and greed manifested itself in his conscienceand made him "overly just". instead of making a ruling that would more fit the bill of the crime like having the rich man pay back the Poorman in either gold or Lambs he went straight for the death penalty. David's over compensation in justice gave away the injustice he committed to one of his loyal soliders. David's sin was like a disease that slowly ate away at him until it manifested like it does. The same goes for all sins. If a man is a slothful glutton he gets obese. If a woman is lustful she gets a STD. If a man is greedy, it can land him in jail. Etc etc. Sin is a disease in the soul, Jesus is the cure, the Church is the hospital.
