Now we are told that eating bacon and cheesecake is as addictive as smoking and heroin! What on earth do these self interest junk scientists take us for - idiots?
Firstly, any smoker who has quit will tell you that smoking is a phsycological habit whereas heroin is a physical addiction. *sigh* I get so tiired of repeating this : The body cannot function without heroin and when the body is deprived the user needs hospital treatment.
When a smoker is denied tobacco, they are somewhat mardy but able to function properly and usually in doing something, they forget they want a cigarette at all.
As someone who loves both bacon sandwiches and cheesecake, I don't feel any partcular compulsion to mug the sandwich shop owner next door to the office. Perhaps to have the required effect suggested by these so called "scientists," one has to eat both bacon and cheesecake together in the same sandwich.
The Filthy Smoker over at the Devil's place puts the alleged health food issue into its true perspective.
