By reading this thread you can understand why these issues where never quantified. You have here a mix of people ranging from complaining about the restaurant going atmosphere to complete boat missers.
So, Reb lavdavka, if you would see the people you are talking to over here, I don’t think you would have said that so loud.
The Rambam writes that one who indulges in eating is Oiver on Lo Sochlu Al Haddam. However, we don’t find that the Poskim ruled this to the general public. You can find Rabbonim and Rebbes who demanded from their close communities to elevate themselves and not to eat more than they need, and not to be engrossed in food, and so on. But you can’t make one lump sum of all of Klal Yisroel. What for one person might be delving into Gashmius is a fact of life for another.
