    Everything can be. But for the largest majority of people, eating is normal, eventhough it can seem to have some aspects of an addiction.

    And the most important part here is that even if you somehow get addicted to food, you cannot simply stop eating. Because you need to eat for your survival. It’s a biological need.

    That’s the point of the example : showing that something you can’t stop doing is not necessarily a bad thing. The details are very important when it comes to addiction.

    And video games are unfortunately victim of propaganda when it comes to their dangers.

      I’m not sure eating is normal for a large majority of people.

      For example, about 3/4 of Americans are overweight

          I have, it’s surprisingly easy to eat only once a week. I lost a lot of weight, but then gained it back after I went back to eating every day.
