Stacy & Stacy reflect on Christ's command to love your neighbor as yourself and talk about gluttony. Oh! It's a hard topic to face, but it seems that Catholics do not talk about this very much, even as they talk a LOT about sexual sin, which is also a vice of intemperance (lack of self control). An 'inordinate' desire for food can even be a mortal sin. They talk about their own struggles with chocolate and Cheetos, but realize that we lose some legitimacy if we cannot control what we eat and at the same time speak the truth to others about sexual impurity.
