Fast Food Addict
Are you totally addicted to fast food?
Do you ever wonder why you or someone you know is completely addicted to fast food? Other than the fact that
some consider it 'comfort' food, there are plenty of ways to get comfort from food in your house!
Some people are just hooked on specific fast foods or all fast foods and have even developed a dislike for home cooking! We're kidding right? No, actually!
The question of fast food addiction appears to have been stewing for several years.

Can you really get addicted to fast food? The evidence is piling up, and the lawyers are rubbing their hands. Diane Martindale reports
MIDDLE-AGED janitors rarely make their mark on science. But Caesar Barber looks like breaking the mould. Last July, Barber, a 56-year-old diabetic and double heart-attack victim from Brooklyn, sued McDonald's, Burger King, KFC and Wendy's, claiming that his illnesses were partly their fault. He had eaten in their restaurants for years, he said, without ever being told that the food was damaging his health.
Barber's class-action lawsuit was the first volley in a long-awaited legal assault against the fast-food industry and its role in the obesity epidemic that is swamping the US health-care system (see "Fat facts"). Inspired by the success of Big Tobacco, the lawyers behind it believe they can force fast-food chains to meet their fair share of the enormous cost of caring for obesity. Pulling the strings is John Banzhaf, of George Washington University Law School in Washington DC, who masterminded the Big Tobacco crusade.
New and potentially explosive findings on the biological effects of fast food suggest that eating yourself into obesity isn't simply down to a lack of self-control. Some scientists are starting to believe that bingeing on foods that are excessively high in fat and sugar can cause changes to your brain and body that make it hard to say no. A few even believe that the foods can trigger changes that are similar to full-blown addiction. The research is still at a very early stage, but thanks to Caesar Barber it is about to be thrust firmly into the limelight.
