Message:
I was married to a person with a food addiction for over six years, I was hoping the show would have addressed food addiction. The consequences are very serious and severe for the addict and his family. Food addiction is not taken as seriously because the substance is not as foreign as drugs and alcohol. I hope that Bill Moyers will address this issue at sometime. When someone gains 100 pounds in under 4 years food is running their life just as completely as an addiction to drugs.
