There is no such a thing as "carbohydrate addiction", our body is built to live off carbohydrates, there is no reason why you should be able get addicted to carbohydrates any more than you can get addicted to water. Obesity is a real illness. Overeating is one of its symptoms and not its cause. Obese people gain weight because they feel hungry too much and too often. In fact, some people's caloric intake doesn't even seem to be limited by their appetite, but by the volume of food they're able to consume. There is no way you could blame people's neglience or a lack of self control anymore, people simply shouldn't WANT to eat that much. There is either something wrong with our food (like some unrecognized vital nutirents missing) or there is some other thing that breaks our metabolism.
