It’s not my fault I’m overweight. I can’t help it. I’m a poor, helpless addict, don’t you know? And I have the science to prove it!
Fast and processed foods can be as addictive as nicotine and hard drugs, new research has revealed.
Scientists in America discovered that foods high in fat and sugar can cause significant changes in brain biochemistry similar to those from drugs such as heroin. The research showed that people who become inveterate snackers on fatty foods can find it almost impossible to switch back to a healthy diet, leading to serious health problems.
The implications of the research could send tremors through international fast-food outlets such as McDonald’s and KFC, which are already facing multi-million dollar lawsuits, with customers arguing that they have became addicted to fast food that subsequently damaged their health. Until now the companies have stressed the “personal responsibility” of customers.
To hell with that namby-pamby “personal responsibility” thing! I want my millions of dollars! Or, failing that, lots of gift certificates to McDonalds and KFC!
Great. So now instead of having crack ho’s we’re going to have Whopper ho’s?
“I’m a Whopper Ho (ho the tomato).”
