Lunch

So I went out to lunch today with my boss and a co-worker.  It was awfully nice of them to do so.  We ate at a Chinese buffet, despite the fact that today is the first day of the fast of the Dormition of the Theotokos.  So i avoided all meat and kept the volume to a minimum.  But what really struck me, especially in the face of this fast was the sheer volume of food that we as Americans have at our fingertips.  Gluttony is a terrible sin in this country and I don't mean just eating large amounts.  Gluttony is about lusting after food.  As someone once said, "We should eat to live, not live to eat."
