Selfish at self-serve?
Do self-serve places reveal how selfish we really are? Or maybe how cheap we are? Do you pile it on, when you eat at a buffet just because you know you can without having to pay more? Do you go back several times at restaurants that have the self serve soda fountains to refill your drink? When someone brings doughnuts or something to work or to share with a group, do you get more than your share or eat just one more so you won’t feel like you wasted the opportunity to get something free? Do you eat until it hurts and then ask for more when you order an all you can eat meal? Are you always the first in line at the free sample display counters at Costco, Sam’s, or a similar warehouse store? Maybe the bigger question is do others recognize this behavior in you? What other negative effects does this behavior have? How does this relate to a Christian's call to die to self? Many questions, kind of makes you go hmmm.

What you're writing about is gluttony, one of the "seven deadly sins" and something Christ warned against over and over again in the New Testament...much more than some of the sins we mysteriously consider more dangerous or just plain worse (like homosexuality). Kind of makes you go hmmmm, does it not?
