    This but unironically. It’s a way more efficient way to lose weight than exercise. And it doesn’t come with the Ozempic side effects

    Addicted to alcohol: Stop drinking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.

    Addicted to cigarettes: Stop smoking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.

    Addicted to crack: Stop smoking crack. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.

    Addicted to food: Must be your fault for being weak-willed. Just don’t consume so much of that thing that you’re addicted to. You can control your addiction. Just stop being a loser…

    The literal solution to every addiction is stop it, cold turkey. One Day At A Time. But you can’t stop eating food. You’ll die.

    So it’s as if an alcoholic has to constantly have just a little alcohol. Or a crackhead has to keep smoking crack, but only every once in a while. No problem, just control yourself…

    I’m sure telling people that they’re pieces of shit for eating food will fix the problem, eventually. We just have to try a little harder.

      Thanks for this, I had an idea about food addiction but that explanation puts it in perspective.

      Companies also try to make foods as addictive as possible and as flashy as possible. It’s like avoiding the constant casino ads as a gambling addict, but you had to keep stepping into a casino every week forever and only doing low bets.

        but you had to keep stepping into a casino every week forever and only doing low bets.

        at least 3 times a day, plus once in a while in between, maybe on your phone.

        good luck not going bankrupt
