Your rhetorical question is intentionally obtuse, you'll never have a productive conversation on any topic by creating your own strawman and falsehoods to argue with.
As for addiction, addiction to smoking, food, drugs, alcohol, etc it's all the same mechanism.
- IggleSniggle 8y agoFair enough in regards to the rhetorical device I used, but you still seem to have taken the point I was trying to make. To your second point, while all addictions have some neurological chemical properties in common, they are not “all the same mechanism.” They vary in their details. Gut flora is the new frontier of neurology. It’s worth studying the phenomenon.
- babyslothzoo 8y ago> Gut flora is the new frontier of neurology. It’s worth studying the phenomenon. Certainly agree on that in a very broad sense, far exceeding this topic. But in terms of obesity, any change to the microbiome is in response to the intake and food abuse, it's another effect rather than a cause.
