Question by erock: WHY DO PEOPLE CLAIM TO BE ADDICTED TO FOOD?
really fat people get over it.

PEOPLE QUIT DOING HERION YES HERION ONE OF THE MOST ADDICTIVE THINGS IN THE WORLD

so really stop crying about food being addictive cuz the fact is if people can quit drugs and smokes you can quit stuffing your faces with candy bars good day

Best answer:

Answer by Betty B
I think it’s harder to quit an addiction that is legal.

What if heroin addicts could find it everywhere for very cheap…and it would be legal?
They would not have so many incentives (money…prison…) to quit.

Answer by Melora
“Food addiction” is a mental dependency; you can not really be physically addicted to the food itself, but more the fact of needing it.

Understand that what you said is not helping your complaint. It was a difficult process to quit heroine, was it not? It’s the same idea. Some people turn to heroine, some to cigarettes, some to food. Addiction is a delicate subject that involves a history or emotional damage, so I suggest you do not make it any worse by bitching about it on here.

If you want it to stop, than at least help in a more polite manner.
