Although there are many intoxicants that effect everybody, alcohol, drugs, even sex to some extent. But what is the cause of food addiction?
If you are eating ice cream, just finished a bowl, and think 'I want some more', even if you are full. Why is this?
Addiction to food has spread in my opinion because of the freedom of food choice we have and how easy it is to aquire it. Yet we are grown adults and most seem to have not very good control on eating. What is the cause behind wanting to eat more even though you are physically full?
If it becomes so bad that people need restraint (which I am sympathetic with), they recieve advice and diet plans from their doctor or health advisor, yet they still persist. I found an artcile that which the governemnt wishes to actually place a law onto restaurants to not serve obese people. Can you believe that?
Most probably won't pass congress but still seems very absurd to me. It is a very extreme method of controlling obesity if you ask me.
What is the nature and biology behind food addiction. And what are your opinions of this new 'law'?
