Is it, though?

Your entire body and brain is a complex and messy chemical reaction.

The opening sentence of the wikipedia article on addiction currently reads: "Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences."

The page then lists "eating or food addiction" as examples, with food addiction being its own entire page.

More likely it's listed as one so insurance company pay for the drugs.

Addiction treatment gets payed, low self control not.
