GLUTTON
GLUTTON; GLUTTONOUS
(glut'-'-n), (glut'-'-n-us) (zalal, "to be lavish"; phagos): "Glutton" (from glut, to swallow greedily) is the translation of zolel from zalal, "to shake or pour out," "to be lavish, a squanderer." In Deut 21:20, "This our son .... is a glutton, and a drunkard," the word may mean a squanderer or prodigal; the English Revised Version has "a riotous liver." In Prov 23:21, "For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty" (following zole bhasar, "squanderers of flesh," the Revised Version (British and American) "gluttonous eaters of flesh"), "glutton" in the usual sense is intended; "a man gluttonous," "a gluttonous man" (the Revised Version) (phagos, "an eater," "a glutton") was a term applied to Christ in His freedom from asceticism (Matt 11:19; Luke 7:34).
The Revised Version has "idle gluttons" (margin Greek, "bellies") for "slow bellies" (Titus 1:12); "gluttonous" "gluttons," for "riotous" (Prov 23:20; 28:7).

It is difficult to find 100% cotton, wool, linen, etc. clothes that are affordable, but this is not the question is it? People who stand on the Levitical law in regard to clothing are being a bit hypocritical if they don't use two sets of plates, keep the Sabbath, etc.
As to driving a SUV as sin I find this a bit ludicrous. Why should a SUV be more sinfull than a luxury car if you can afford one or any vehicle for that matter?
