You could look at it like that, and addiction, a wanting of carbs, or
some would say a need to have them. Just as caffeine, which in my
book
is a drug, is highly addicting. However, you also need to look at it
as
a choice. One chooses to eat the crap they have been eating all their
lives. I look at it as more of a habit, lack of knowledge or lack of
willpower if they have the knowledge of what to stay away from.
Believe
me, I know all about willpower and the lack of. But I finally made my
choice,did the right thing, and lost most of that weight. i still have
15
pounds to go.
