Abstract
We are surrounded by an abundance of delicious food. Throughout the developed world, cooking shows saturate our televisions and streaming video feeds advertise greasy burgers and decadent chocolates. Our addiction to food is so powerful that despite obesity affecting more than a third of the world’s adults over the age of 35, no country has had success in reducing obesity for over 30 years. But is food addiction the same as drug addiction? What are some of the similarities and differences between the way the brain processes foods and drugs?
