Do you believe that there is such thing as food addiction? Like smoking? To be honest, I do believe it..
Here's a sample of questions that I found on a website. Apparently you can even get treatment for this type of thing and it is taken pretty seriously.
-End up eating more than planned when you start eating certain foods
-Keep eating certain foods even if you're no longer hungry
-Eat to the point of feeling ill
-Worry about not eating certain types of foods or worry about cutting down on certain types of foods
-When certain foods aren't available, go out of your way to obtain them
-You eat certain foods so often or in such large amounts that you start eating food instead of working, spending time with the family, or doing recreational activities.
-You avoid professional or social situations where certain foods are available because of fear of overeating.
-You have problems functioning effectively at your job or school because of food and eating.
What's your opinion on this?
My opinion is DUH! yea, Im addicted to anything I like usually...there are several programs for that TOO! :P0 -
I don't believe it's as much as an addiction as it is people eat the wrong things which cause them to be hungrier.
I also think it's a refusal to change, and/or general laziness.
Agree with the first part. But I don't think laziness is a factor. That's a typical stereotype attributed to fat people and its kinda mean0 -
YES
