What are your views? Does food addiction really exist or is it just gluttony?

    Of course it exists. Anything a human enjoys (gets feel good hormones in the brain) can lead to addiction. Now, is it preventable, absolutely.

    ^^ This.

    ETA - Some people are more prone to addiction than others. There are a million and one reasons why - some social, some mental, some physiological. Food addiction does exist - and for those that truly have it - it is a one day at a time battle for recovery - same as any other addiction.
