I read awhile back that food was the number one addiction in this country, more than all drugs and alcohol combined. They got the number from counting the number of obese. We seem to be moving in a direction that treats the obese like we do drug addicts and I see many links between food addicts and drug addicts. If the Gov can regulate drugs, what is stopping them from doing the same with junk food? You don’t need junk food to survive nor does it provide any nutritional value.

I wonder how many drug war pimps would support the same treatment and classification of taco bell or candy. Can you imagine Nestle being shut down and treated like we do drug dealers? If the costs we pay as a society for the obese are equal to or more than that of drugs, what really is stopping the war on food?
