I have been thinking this lately. You can give up most other addictions forever but you will always have to eat again. So, I feel that it might be easier to get out of another addiction. With food addiction every bite could be the kiss of death for the rest of your life. You can give up alcohol forever though.
Do You Think Addiction To Food Is Worse Than To Drugs?

I totally agree with you. Everyone has to keep eating, food issues or not. A recovering alcoholic for example, can stay out of bars.

They have actually shown links between people addicted to sweets and people to drugs. Dopamine is released in the brain, when they see someone eating sweets or doing drugs. Making a drug addiction very similar to a food addiction.

totally agree too
i remember this one time and went on a fast (no food) it was horrible, there is just something about food that can be so comforting at times. i mean i totally couldn’t imagine having to give it up, at least there is an option to eat healthy though.
