Also addiction is not defined by unethical or illegal behavior - it's about continuing to do something even when you know you're harming yourself by doing it (and even when you actively want to stop). People go to great lengths for things they're addicted to without doing anything remotely unethical or illegal but while still doing things you'd probably consider totally insane.
- kenjackson 4y agoThat was just an example. Often people will do unethical or illegal things to feed an addiction. Rarely, do people do things, like prostitute themselves for junk food. Now your point is that people may eat themselves into unhealthy situations and want to stop. That is probably true, although I wonder how much of that is convenience, rather than addiction.
