I don't disagree, and find it worth appreciating how blurry the actual lines of separation are between food and "drugs". Coffee/tea, Cheese, Chocolate, Nutmeg, sweets in general, they activate similar mechanisms and reward systems to "drugs".

The whole dogmatic war-on-drugs attitude creates this imaginary boundary around "food" which for many I suspect green-lights abuse of "food" because it's not "drugs".

It makes me wonder how much our societal obesity problems would change if the prevailing attitude towards drugs became more factual and nuanced. If people understood better that cocaine isn't as problematic as psilocybin in terms of addiction, maybe they'll also start thinking more critically about candy bars vs. oranges. Perhaps my optimism is showing.
