I got a flyer today about the national obesity forum and scanned their speakers. No mention whatever of addiction to food. No mention whatever about the self destructive nature of over eating.
Obesity is caused by eating too much of the wrong kind of food. Food addicts eat the wrong kind of food to excess, and are at risk to becoming obese if they dont take pills vomit starve or exercise afterwards. We all know this. We just dont know why.
People who are addicted to drugs use drugs to slowly kill themselves. People who are addicted to food use food to slowly kill themselves. Obesity is a sign of self-harming behavior, much as the scars of cutting or the bald patches where hair has been wrenched out.
When will they learn? The Obesity Forum will get nowhere if they refuse to see that addiction is slow suicide and food addiction causes obesity.
