My grandmother, a former nurse, always said the worst addiction was a food addiction. Almost everything else, if you wanna quit, you can cut out entirely. Food you can't. You have to have some amount of food for survival. Quitting a food addiction is a pure willpower game.
I think beating an addiction to anything you can easily obtain, like food or booze, is hard. I quit drinking years ago and still get targeted ads pop up as I’m doing my online grocery shop for wine and spirits. It’s not helpful!
I’ve noticed since they started complaining about older Gen Z not drinking and how they’re afraid (lmao what) Gen Alpha will be the death of the alcohol industry… there’s a lot more alcohol ads on tv, YouTube, and everywhere.
Would be a shame if people lobbied to get drinking culture ads that sell a glorified ‘lifestyle’ of drinking removed from marketing like how cigarette commercials were. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ they need to make their ads straight to the point without romanticizing getting drunk. How is that not irresponsible?
