CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Eating isn't an addiction; it's an adaptive behavior. Addictions are maladaptive. If the more you ate, the hungrier you became, THEN it would be an addiction.
I'm going to need to put this in my sig file; I've had to explain this multiple times today. Adaptive behaviors are those you can engage in without needing an increasing supply. Breathing. Eating. Drinking. Sex of all types. All of these are normally adaptive. They become maladaptive if a fixation drives them such that you need more and more just to get the same effect--like drinking more and more water if you have a saline imbalance causing polydipsia.

Forgetting the long words, food can be an addiction. It isn't necessarily, I didn't say anyone who eats food is addicted to food. Anyway I think we agree because you said it can be.
