You're arguing against the clinical consensus on addiction, which is backed by decades of evidence. You're going to have to do much, much, much better than just saying, "well, I think that's wrong." You're no more justified in your belief than a climate change denier.

Are we taking about drug addiction or food "addiction" here? Because despite using the same word, those are physiologically very different things.

I think I'm familiar with the consensus views. What am I saying that you feel is unjustified?

A clinical consensus on whether addiction is a choice? Perhaps you are thinking of a clinical consensus on how best to treat addiction? This is often glossed over by the "addiction is a disease" crowd. The efficacy of treating addiction as a disease does not make it any more "true" as an explanation for the circumstances leading up to it.
