Susan Cheever “ “Addiction” is the buzzword of the 21st century. It ranges from methamphetamine addiction to jokingly addicted to starbucks lattes. In fact, we especially seem to use the word “addiction” for things to which we are -not- destructively addicted… it erodes its powers and its identifies us as someone serious, but someone who knows when to take things lightly.

This chapter, “Feed Me”, proves interesting, especially after reading Ultra Processed People by Chris van Tulleken. Many of these academic books say over and over again that obesity is NOT a factor of willpower. And still my mind is boggled how pop culture in media insists that obesity = lack of willpower and = a disease that is the persons fault. silly. silly silly. un intrigue.
