Remember when people were responsible for what they ate and knew how to eat responsibly rather blaming “big food” for forcing them to become fat?

Get ready for lawsuits against food chemists who create flavors we apparently are too pathetic to resist.

What BS.

it’s not about flavors or just saying no, it’s been shown that its the reaction of some chemicals - similar to a percentage of alcoholics or drug addicts or smokers, some foods are made to be addictive on purpose (one is high fructose corn syrup) and many people fall prey to trying such foods, and it’s a real struggle to break free.

Been there and done it and sometimes one bite triggers a relapse.

I do find certain methods of detoxing does break the cycle, but diligence in avoiding many processed foods is the main thing that helps me.

Can’t eat out, almost never, too much fake crap in the food that re-starts the addiction.
