J: Generally, I think of it as a food addiction. We could define addiction as, roughly, continuing a behavior despite negative consequences. I see the consequences, but I continue to eat too much.
Merc: I started to add that to my first post, but it kinda diminished my main point, so I deleted it. But yeah; imagine if, when you drank too much, your ears turned orange. If you cheated in your relationships, you would develop a limp. If you lied, well obviously, your nose would grow.
Bipolar? Facial tic. Relentlessly an asshole? Over time, your left pinky would wither, and could fall completely off. Have a child and not support it? You get a 2" cone on the top of your head.
Eat too much? You develop a big belly.
