Surfeit
noun
an excessive amount of something.
"a surfeit of food and drink"

verb
cause (someone) to desire no more of something as a result of having consumed or done it to excess.

I've heard the word but never looked it up. Thanks!

ETA: I agree with your eloquently expressed impression of Ms. Stein's statement.
