In Christianity, it is considered a sin if the excessive desire for food leads to a lack of control over one's relation with food or harms the body. Some Christian denominations consider gluttony one of the seven deadly sins. The concept of gluttony also has a broader definition within Christianity, where it is categorized into five distinct traits.
