Again, it is NOT an addiction, it is a habit....or a compulsion.
An addiction has withdrawal symptoms. Eating normally instead of stuffing your face does not give you these. nicotine... benzodiazepine.. barbiturates... alcohol ..opiates. These give you physical dependence.
Eating is no more an addiction than breathing is.
Of course you can be addicted to food!
Not only are there food products that are addictive, but on a psychological level the feelings you get in anticipation of eating food and the eating process itself can overwhelming in certain folk.
Withdrawal!
What do you think hunger is!! a cakewalk.
