Greed with regard to food and drink?

Greed with regard to food and drink is described by gluttony, one of the traditional seven deadly sins. It captures the idea of an excessive, unrestrained desire to eat or drink beyond what is needed or enjoyed in moderation. In many cultural and religious contexts, gluttony is contrasted with temperance and self-control. The word gultony isn’t a real term, so it can’t be the correct answer. Precedent and repealed are legal terms—ways of referring to prior decisions or laws being revoked—and they have no relation to an excessive appetite for food and drink.
