It's really a pretty murky issue all round. I don't just mean obesity but addictive/ self-destructive behaviour in general, be it crack, smack, booze, burgers, bongs or whatever you choose to self-destruct. I am kind of uncomfortable with the term addiction because in medicalising an issue it really absolves the destructee of any personal responsibility. Ultimately people choose their poison and you do get to a point where the body expects more of whatever you have been giving it but I also believe that you can't expect someone else to stop you from self-destructing or to support you in doing it.
