Much more common than people realize. Perhaps 75% of the population. Think those particular foods, like donuts, that you know are unhealthy, but you eat them regularly anyway. That’s food addiction.
Not only do you eat unhealthy food, but it creates craving and hunger with insulin spikes.
Conversely, when you become fat adapted, hunger is uncommon, and you seldom feel cravings for food.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
