Definition: "Agomphosis," which is also known as "gluttony," refers to a state where individuals consume excessive amounts of food, leading to severe malnutrition and potential death. This behavior is often associated with people in societies that have a high emphasis on abundance or prosperity, such as in the context of agriculture or commerce. The word was derived from the Greek ἄγω ("agon") meaning "to desire," and "phosi" which means "sick." In the Hebrew Bible, Agomphosis is explained in Deuteronomy 21:19-23. It describes a person who eats too much of something he does not need or consumes things that are poisonous. The concept of excessive food consumption often leads to malnutrition and death. The Old Testament refers to this as "sabatah," which translates to "wasting" from the Hebrew word "saba, saba." This is seen as a form of sin and idolatry (1 Samuel 6:15).
