Junk Food Addiction Just As Bad As Vices

I love junk food.  The salt and crunchiness of a good potato chip is so satisfying.  Forget about a chocolate chip cookie, I do not know where I would be without eating one!  A new study by the Public Health Collaboration reveals that junk food addiction is just as dangerous as being hooked on drugs, cigarettes and booze. The PHC says people who eat lots of sweets and ultra processed foods are headed towards obesity and health complications. ''The PHC is campaigning for food addiction to be a recognized condition so that people can get the help they need to quit their cravings for ultra-processed food. We believe that the addictive eating of these foods underlies in part the current epidemics of obesity, diabetes and mental ill health''
