Have you ever watch those shows when they show a person who is over like 500lbs? I always wonder why these people are not addicted to the right kinds of food. I had problems with weight myself. (although I never weigh even close to that) but I was addicted to food period. (good and bad) I just wonder why they are addicted to the bad food?
Also, if these people are stuck in their house, then where do they get that kind of food anyway? Why do the people that care for them, just keep good food in the house?

who says they are only addicted to the bad foods. If you eat too much of ANY food this can happen. And have you not ever heard of Pizza Hut we deliver!

Obesity is caused by many factors. Heredity plays a part, but so do environmental factors and mental health issues, addiction being part of the latter. Most obese people over eat for a reason...They are looking to food to fill a void in their lives.
Most sad/ironic story I ever heard about an obese person: I work in a prison and we had a 600 pound offender sentenced to prison for selling his prescription diet pills out his bedroom window.

Their not all addicted to bad food. One doctor on one of the shows said that he had a patient who loved oranges and ate like 75 oranges a day. if you eat 75 of anything, good or bad, you're going to gain weight. Also most bad food looks more appetizing and makes you feel full shorter. Also on one of the episodes, one of those people said he just ordered food every single day. Like for dinner he ordered enough chinese food to feed 5 people.

Well its not always bad food but lets face it, between an apple and a candy bar... most ppl will take the candy. Plus foods like this have chemicals and produce chemicals in our body to where you can actually become addicted -- like to chocolate and diet coke

You have heard of a sweet tooth? Some people get what is loosely termed a "fat tooth". I'm not being funny. Fat in foods makes it taste better and it has a better feeling in your mouth. Some people get so used to fatty food that other foods don't taste good.
