While I think that many people use the "addiction" excuse when it isn't truly applicable, I think a true food addiction would be one of the hardest to kick.
If you are addicted to crack, you can quit.
If you are addicted to nicotine, you can quit.
If you are addicted to alcohol, you can quit.
If you are addicted to food, you will die if you quit.
Can you imagine going to AA and them telling you to only drink 4 beers or less a day, since 5 or more is binge drinking? Or telling someone to smoke 6 cigs per day, but no more? Food would be a tough one because it is a human need for existance, and so there would always be the temptation to indulge just a little more.
