Quotes by Vera Tarman (?)

“From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great!”
― Vera Tarman, Food Junkies: The Truth About Food Addiction

“Today I say am an addict. A respectable addict, of course. Not like the desperate addicts who have cashed in their mortgage... After all, my drug is cheap, the cheapest of all drugs, and therefore the most pernicious... And my drug is everywhere I look: in the drive-through gas station's convenience store, in the supermarket, on the lusciously displayed menu of an exclusive restaurant.”
