Of all the major addictions that grip Americans today, you may be surprised to know that the most prevalent addiction is not alcohol or drug addiction or even our addiction to tobacco. No, the addiction I am referring to is legal, has no age restriction, can be purchased anywhere by anyone and is encouraged by our society. The addiction I am referring to is the addiction of overeating. With obesity and Type II Diabetes on a drastic rise, the main culprit in our society is our unhealthy love for food. We super size everything from soda pop to fast foods meals to restaurant portions. This unhealthy addiction to excessive food intake is “killing us.” |
