Food addiction is used widely by scientists to try and explain why some people develop eating disorders or become obese. The term food addiction can sometimes be misleading because it sometimes implies that food addictions has something to do with what you eat. While some food may be a little more harmful than others, they are not the main reason why people develop food addictions. So, it is best to term food addiction as eating addiction because it shows that the problem is not with the food, but rather with the consumer. With that, food addiction or eating addiction is a behavioral problem that can be triggered by stress, depression and anxiety, it is a coping mechanism for those dealing with it.
