I just watched the film called "LBS" on Netflix. This is not a documentary, but a dramatic presentation of the struggle with food addiction. Very poignant and sad, but realistic. If anyone here has already seen it, I invite comments. Anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend it.
Thanks for this!

I've just started watching it.

I think that "food addiction" is sometimes driven by diet. THere is a lot of new research that suggests that the FDA recommendations of a low fat, high carb diet can actually stoke cravings and keep people eating... in addition to the fact that sugar has been added to almost everything.
Thanks for this!

Think about what it feels like when you aren’t able to eat. You start to crave food, and become more physically and emotionally uncomfortable the longer the cravings go on for, until eating becomes the most important thing for you to do. This is the experience of all addicts.
