Subject: Responsa for Gluttonous Eating

Solomon Shimmel (Volume 29 Number 95) asks
<<I am interested in locating articles or responsa from the orthodox
Jewish community in the United States, that address and/or
criticize the Americanized, consumption-oriented food culture that has
developed in this population. To what extent do the elaborate wedding,>>

How about the famous Ramban in Lev 19:1-2 where he coins the term of a
RELIGIOUS GLUTTON to describe people who observe all mitzvoth but eg
overeat to much

In general the mideval literature is full of people who made comments on
such practices and I think a search on such literature would be
productive
