Your take or stance about capitalism and addiction is true also, but yeah addicts are addicts if it’s heroin or food or sex or alcohol. Some addictions / pleasures aren’t super unhealthy and some are. Either way, the trick to it is to eat less. Same as the “trick” to getting off opiates is to stop using them.

minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down2·3 days agoYeah all that’s right but you’re overlooking the fact that “just stop” almost never works. People can know this, rationally. But they still fall into addiction. It takes a more complicated approach than “just stop” most of the time.
