What about the vertical axis for gluttony – food, drinks and drugs?

Menninger associated gluttony to a destructive self-love, tending towards a “subconscious existence”.  This certainly fits the “loss of conscience” that makes “sins of gluttony possible”.

Menninger did not explore the think^group that puts the sins of food, drinks and drugs into context.  But, like most Progressives, he made fun of quaint religious traditions of think^divine that forbid coffee, tea and beer.

But I have an example: Consider that great propagandizer of self-love and subconscious existence: American television (any time, from 1960 to 2012).  TV think^group romanticized all types of addictions, including the most important one: addiction to itself.

So for TV gluttony, the vertical axis might be “television hype for the goodness of its own programming and ads(sin of being a couch potato(destructive self love tending toward a subconscious existence))”.

Now, what about the Gluttony for Entitlements by the Central Government?
