HAPPY BIRTHDAY GONZO!!!

[GonzoStyle]

yeah but that can be said for any person with an addiction. It's obvious to say hey junkie, stop shooting up, or hey alcoholic stop drinking. It's a disease and unfair to simplify it like that. Just like with any of the other addictions, one day you realize you are ruining your life and you quit.

if it were a disease it would be covered under health insurance

How is a dependancy on food, different from alcohol or drugs? It's the ignorance on the subject, is why it isnt covered and why this country has gotten fatter and fatter to epedemic proportions now. Most people don't eat just because they enjoy the actual food, sure thats where they get their pleasure from, just like a high from drugs. But it's a more deeper emotionally imbalance that causes it.
