An Epicurean? Slippage of words how they lose their meaning

Are you an epicurean?  The modern view of  such a person would be that he/she was a sophisticate in her tastes, not averse to gorging, in modern parlance, a 'foody'.

No doubt it will surprise all those who are not well informed in ancient Greek philosophy to hear that Epicurus, the founder of Epicurean ism, lived upon bread and water and upon the simple fruits and vegetables that grew in his own garden. Water-cress, a radish, a fig, made a substantial meal for the greatest of all the epicures, Epicurus himself. Now and then the philosopher called for a portion of milk or for a little cheese, saying at the same time, "I must occasionally make merry !" Diogenes Laertius, that mine of philosophical anecdote, writing of this, is moved to say : "Behold the manner of his living, he who has been misrepresented as the greatest voluptuary." And Cicero says : "Ah ! With how little was Epicurus con-tented." All of the Epicureans in that day, in the day of Epicurus, fared as did their master. They ate pulse, drank milk, and smiled at the folly of men whose palates were placed above their reason.
