GLUTTONY PANTS

Chef Chris Cosentino, Food Network star and executive chef at Incanto restaurant in San Francisco, has created the Gluttony Pants for those of us who occasionally indulge and engorge without the post-meal awkwardness. The pants have three buttons, allowing you to expand the pants' waist. The buttons are labeled "Piglet," "Sow" and "Boar."

Gluttony seems to be a sin that we like to ignore or at least accommodate. Christians are often quick to label smoking and drinking as sins, but for some reason gluttony is accepted or at least tolerated. Yet Proverbs 23:21-22 warn us, "Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."
