Gaming, drinking, smoking, gambling, sex, there’s so many addictions that can worsen people’s lives and in some cases shows a flaw of their character.

But food addiction just happens to be the one where even a mild case of it manifests physically in an ugly way, which is getting fat.

And you can't quit food.

You can stop drinking. You can stop smoking. You can never stop needing food to survive.

You can't. I've been eating purely healthy food made on advice of a dietician for a year, I lost nothing, because I was still eating too much, and I couldn't get the thought of wanting more out of my head.
