When I was a teenager I had a lot more sugar in my diet, and I'd get strong cravings when doing extended physical activity. One time when I was backpack camping I walked from our camp for a couple of kilometres (so over a mile) to a village just to get a couple of cans of soda. This was on top of the 15kms I'd already walked that day.
Not to say this is in any way comparable to a heroin addiction, but sugar urges can be strong and compelling.

- Fricken 6y agoIf you're physically active sugar isn't that bad for you. Your muscles are hungry and the quickly digested sugars entering your bloodstream have somewhere useful to go. Eating sugar and other processed, simple carbohydrates such as french fries, chips, and soda while sedentary is a great way to become obese and diabetic.
