It is an addiction, medically. Whether you choose to believe it or not.

some of us are talking about facts and medical science lostalex. Given your comment earlier about 'over-eating being a disease'... I think it's reasonable to say that you aren't talking facts and medical science.
you seem to be completely unwilling to accept that many people who are overweight / obsese - manage to get to that stage because they simply overeat - they know they overeat, they know they are overweight - they simply don't take action because they don't care.
Good god...you only have to look around you at the amount of people who are very overweight in the western world - through eating junk food, being lazy and using convenience foods, slouching around, not taking exercise, not taking care of their own bodies. Are you seriously inferring that the vast majority of these people have 'psychological issues / addictions'.
If so... god help the world - if so many are so 'ill'.
