I'll be frank and share an unwarranted observation/opinion.....
People ARE addicted to food. Instead of eating to live, we live to eat. It's celebrated in any food commercial, celebrated on every holiday, and bragged about every weekend. We eat too much, and we eat too much "crap". Shop like a diabetic sometime. Eliminate anything with sugar, processed flour, potatoes and white rice. You have literally eliminated 90% of the food in a grocery store. You are basically stuck to buying whole foods along the outside around all the shelves with few exceptions. All of those food that are off limits, are actually pretty unhealthy, even if you "try" to consume only small amounts of it.
Sugar and processed flour are in nearly every food you buy. They are very cheap fillers, and they are very unhealthy. More people are diagnosed with diabetes each year, then ever before. And I know in the times my mother grew up in, they ate more deserts then we do now. My mom used to have pie at breakfast, as did most people when she grew up. But all the food they ate, wasn't laced with sugar, nor was it mostly all processed foods, either.
Me, I don't care what people eat. I care what I eat. But it is of note, more people are in poor health and it's because of what we stuff our faces with. Bad for us foods, are addictive like cigarettes. We crave them or eat a lot of it, because it triggers an addiction in the brain.
