This clue might be a double definition.

'lover of food' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'punishment?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glutton that I've seen before include "One who eats to excess" , "Pig" , "Excessive eater; wolverine" , "One eats too much" , "Over-eater" .)
