Cigarettes are an addiction. This is different than the need to eat.

Overconsumption often is an addiction. It is not a need to eat.

Bull****. Your assertion is just a popular myth.

Incorrect. Ask a psychiatrist who deals with addictions.

Some aspect of the modern diet triggers a malfunction of the body's natural
calorie regulation. It is not an addiction. For example: if you make a
"normal" person overeat, they do not become "addicted" to overeating.

Not always but they can.

Often, doctors blame the patient, when the doctor has failed to understand a
medical problem. It is easier than admitting that the doctor is not
omniscient. Calling the patient an addict, is just part of blaming the
patient for a medical problem.

Often? Perhaps, perhaps not. Sometimes, ime. Overconsumption is now only a
physical, medical problem?

Speaking of bull****.....

Btw, if you want to continue a conversation on Usenet with Mu, then top
posting is out. I am getting tired of cleaning up your bull**** top posting
just because you're too lazy to scroll down the page. Outlook is a bull****
newsreader and there are several free ones so you have no bull**** excuses
even if you continue to use Outlook.
