Do you think addiction to chocolate should be considered a mental illness?

[Anonymous]

Milk chocolate isn’t exactly fantastic for the health but it’s a lot less dangerous than cigarettes and alcohol.

Only if someone is spending so much money on chocolate that they can't pay their rent, or is spending so much time eating chocolate that they are skipping other important activities, or they are eating so much chocolate that they are obese or diabetic.

If you're American and that's the case then you have some real problems. Your chocolate tastes of cocoaed sugared saw shavings.

UK chocolate is delicious and pretty much the only thing that gives me pleasure in this completely fruitloop world.

So if it's an addiction, then yes, I am addicted. And you ain't taking it away from me.

it seems not to be for some but is for others. not so sure it is a drug

sugar seems to be a drug for most, but not all.

not so sure...

like most "food" , moderation.

some things should be zero intake.

Milk chocolate isn’t chocolate… so it’s sugar addiction…. Sounds normal being addicted to sugar like over 50% of US.
As long as you are okay … our opinions are not important.

No, I don't think it's an addiction, but you probably need to be seen and checked for diabetes.
