It would be favored by people given to excess - people whose habits are not moderate - people who don't practice the "golden mean" - people who like to pig out on expensive, luxurious food which is not good for them. We tend to associate decadence with a rich, wasteful life style, sometimes spiced with immorality. A twist is is a special angle or turn (figurative) put on somethng which makes it unusual.
