This is not a personal problem (I am underweight and probably have the opposite issue). I ask because of the prevailing sentiment, especially on Reddit, that people who are overweight are selfish or lazy -- not usually something you'd hear describing serious drug addicts. I believe that seeing obesity as a symptom of food addiction can really help people understand why the solution is not so black-and-white as "eat less."
