Publisher's summary

Addiction is only possible to a person who is in denial of his own problems and who needs an “excuse” for escaping from his anxiety. It is a self-deception that exacerbates an individual’s problems by offering short-term pleasure as a solution for long-term anxiety.

Yet, without self-deception, addiction would not be possible. You can go through scientific study after scientific study and none of them deal with the fact that any consumption item or activity that produces pleasure (but not nourishment) requires an excuse (or an argument) for its intake.

In truth, most people eat way too much. They stuff their bodies with calories, carbohydrates, sugars, drugs and other food elements, to such an extent that they overload the bodily organs that process food. Many eat for the sake of stimulating their taste buds. Some of them do not know the damage they are doing to their bodies, while others do it to escape life, using mass consumption as a way of avoiding it.
