Comment on Ask HN: Food Addiction

Comments

Eat as little as necessary, but not less. Stop thinking about food as of something valuable, and think of it as of pills that keep you alive. Those obsessed with food are craving for comfort: they want to enjoy the taste sensations and the cozy feeling of being full. It's wiser to not seek comfort at all: great if you have it, but don't do something just to please your feelings.

As a Frenchman, this mindset repulses me. I take the opposite view: you should view food as something worthy and valuable, and therefore not to be degraded by eating an unbalanced diet full of preprocessed industrial junk.
