Is hunger simply "substance" addiction?

food is handled by the same agency, the "food & drug administration".

My answer is YES but what do you guys think?

I believe yes and no.  Yes, in that most people become used to food---sort of like a habit.  That's why so many people--especialy women eat when they are bored or depressed.  No in that your body does need food.  It provides much of the energy your cells need to run off of.  I believe that many people, especially in the west, eat more out of habit than out of need though.

I believe that when the world is completely free of stress, especially noise, we wont need to eat cause we eat now only to releave stress.

You know, different people deal with stress differently.  Many people do eat to relieve stress.  I workout, or go fishing.  For me that works MUCH better than eating.  Alone by myself on the ocean---all stress is left behind on the mainland!

'never really thought about this before. and, of course you hear the acronym FDA all of the time.

now i just can't help but hope that 'they' aren't meddling too much on the 'additive' (adding drugs to our food) end.

nasty!

Well They Do Add Flavor To Foods Using Chemicals That Can't Be Too Good For You. Coke Has Floor Cleaner In It How Many Drink Coke ? Ever Wonder Why So Many People Get Cancer Because Of All The Shit They Put Into Food To Preserve It So It Lasts Longer.

you need food for the energy to run your body. your body is an engine, and like all engines, needs fuel. food is fuel.
