Yes, whatever you put first in your life is your god. I don't see the relevance of the scripture you site, though.
Thanks for correcting the scripture reference. I should also mention that all the things we put before God are our gods but they are false gods- idols. There is only one true living God, and one day every one of us will answer to Him for our choices.
Grace and peace to you.

Yes, this is the sin of gluttony.
Here are the seven holy virtues as opposites to the seven deadly sins. According to Dante's The Divine Comedy the sins have an order of greatness, and the virtues a respective order of greatness as well. This order is shown below from the lowest to the highest.
+ Holy Virtues +
Chastity (purity)
Moderation (self-restraint)
Generosity (vigilance)
Zeal (enthusiasm)
Meekness (composure)
Charity (giving)
Humility (humbleness)
+ Deadly Sins +
Lust (inappropriate desire)
Gluttony (over-indulgence)
Greed (avarice)
Sloth (laziness)
Wrath (anger)
Envy (jealousy)
Pride (vanity)
With love in Christ.

Yes if you choose to eat unclean food when this is forbidden by Law, then your belly is your god. You belong to whom you obey Rom 6:16.
