gluttonousness
Insatiable consuming habit
Gluttonousness is the quality of being gluttonous—given to excessive eating or drinking.
The word extends beyond food to any greedy overconsumption: the gluttonousness of his appetite for power.
Gluttony is far more common for the noun; gluttonousness appears mainly when emphasizing the characteristic as a persistent trait rather than a single act.
