dj,
lol
I'm with you partially...a buddy of mine used to say that you only deserve to drive a car if you have the ability to get to your destination without it and are just using it to save time. It's like in math class where the only people who should be allowed to use a formula are the ones who can show they know how to derive it from first principles.
Still, I think you underestimate how much of the US economy depends on gluttony. And don't forget hedonism -- a related concept which defines modern American life. Probably the only way to continue hedonism without gluttony is to have vomitariums like in the old Roman Empire. Without that you're looking at a 25% decline or so if people were to all of a sudden slim down. Have you thought about that?
