Food Addiction: Could It Explain Why 70 Percent of Americans Are Fat?

Yes, I think I would buy that. Not getting your regular fix of food does tend to lead to not being fat.

Skeletally thin even.

‘Food addiction’ – the 21st century way to say ‘greedy porker’…

Yeah, we’re so paranoid nowadays – heck, we should just a take a lesson from the Edwardians and start huffing coke.

I don’t know much about the science, or lack thereof, of “food addiction” but I do know that people can eat themselves to death – you don’t get that way from being a bit too fond o’ the ol’ cholesterol.

I’m addicted to food. Without it, I’d die.

I hear Americans have reached terminal velocifatness.

They are no longer becoming fatter as a nation because, quite simply, everyone who is gonna get fat is fat.
