Too much food ?
«'On cite souvent, pour en rire, Schopenhauer qui faisait l'éloge du sui- cide devant une table bien garnie.» - Albert Camus, Le Mythe de Sisyphe (1942)
"Schopenhauer is often cited as a fit subject for laughter, because he praised suicide while seated at a well-set table."
«В сущности же, эта моя любовь была произведением, с одной стороны, деятельности мамаши и портних, с другой - избытка поглощавшейся мной пищи при праздной жизни» - Lev Tolstoy, Kreutzer Sonata.
"In actual fact, this love of mine was the product of on the one hand, the efforts of the girl's mother and dress-makers, and on the other, of the excessive quantities of food I had consumed during a life of idleness"
