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

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.

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.

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