Role of Addiction Cannot Be Ignored in Obesity Epidemic

So?

"The causes of obesity are complex and individual, but it is clear that chronic overeating plays a fundamental role. But when this behaviour becomes compulsive and out of control, it is often classified as "food addiction" -- a label that has generated considerable controversy, according to a McMaster University psychiatrist and obesity researcher."

As it should, since it makes no difference anyway in terms of who is responsible for "treatment."

If you are a fat f**k and "addicted" to Calories, pay for your own chosen path to therapy.

Leave the rest of society out of it.

And BTW, there is only one cause of obesity - more Calories in than out.

There are however, many complex and individual excuses.
