Do You Truly Believe Eating Can Be an Addiction?
Question by –: Do you truly believe eating can be an addiction?
Now days it seems as if anything can be categorically labeled as an “addiction”, from the conventional drugs, cigarettes, caffeine to now sex, gambling—even chocolate! Scientist have concluded that a similar chemical reaction to occur in the brain be that cocaine or a box of oreos. But do you seriously think the obese demographic are just helpless victims of an “addiction” rather than lacking self control?
COOLJOHN- There lies the semantics of the word “addiction” that I was questioning. If lacking self control equates an addiction, our entire system of will is a case of addiction.

One cannot simply smoke crack for weeks and suddenly stop and be perfectly well the next day. Overeating is not comparable, two people can have different experiences with food. Food itself is not addictive, hence the scope of the question.
