This book is an opinion piece, not a factual book. There is NO valid research that supports an addiction to sugar. It is an apologist's excuse for self indulgence. Referring to overindulgence as "self medication" is ludicrous. Repeated claims that the treatment of obese individuals by society is "unfair" is also ludicrous. Fat acceptance does no good for anyone. Ignoring a problem will not make it go away.The first thing that any overweight person needs to do is accept that there is no addiction involved, there are no excuses, is self indulgence and lack of will power involved - nothing more. People who are not overweight also experience depression and low self esteem without resorting to stuffing themselves. The next thing that an overweight person needs to understand is the difference between real hunger and a need to indulge themselves. No fat or obese person has ever experienced real hunger while they were fat or obese.This book is of little use to a person who wants to become healthy.
