You're right that it's an addiction. And more than one industry has grown up around it. Never mind the companies like Frito-Lay and Pepsico.
The medical industrial complex is growing metaphorically fat on it. I have a friend whose doctor told him to lose weight. He suggested a paleo diet. But he didn't point out that chicken doesn't qualify as "lean meat" when it's covered in bread crumbs soaked in vegetable oil. He didn't say, hey, fried potatoes are still not part of a paleo diet even when they come with the meat for free as part of the combo.
Oh, that's self-evident, they're trained to say to themselves. But the cause of obesity has been known for, what, three thousand years? Four thousand? And doctors can't see that there just might be a psychological component involved here? And that where there's something psychological going on, maybe the self-evident isn't obvious to the patient at all?
Instead he issued prescriptions that make it easier for the patient when when he sits on the toilet four times a day because he's consuming more than his digestive system can even process.
Why doesn't the government do something? It does. It's making it easier for us to kill ourselves before we get old enough to get some of our FICA taxes back in the form of social security "benefits". It wants us to take ourselves off the medicare rolls. Look at the cynical lies surrounding the jab. This is the norm in government and medicine, not the exception. How much do you suppose the makers of those electric wheelchairs pay in bribes, er, I mean campaign contributions?
