The problem with food—and the reason some of us eat too much of it (*raises hand *)—is that it’s impossible to quit.
I mean seriously—if you want to quit soda, you just never drink soda. If you want to quit heroin, well, it’s a lot more complicated than that, but in the course of an every day life, there really is no reason to take heroin or drink soda or buy a pack of cigarettes again, if that’s what you’ve decided to do. Without addiction it is not part of everyday life.
Not so with food.
We need food.
