I don’t know. How many people have broken into a car to steel a stereo and sell it for a cheeseburger? How many people have committed strong armed robbery for Doritos. How many families were beaten within an inch of their death or shot dead because daddy ate too many Oreos? How many people have overdosed on a single, but exceptionally strong cookie?

People need to eat food. Our bodies are pushing us to eat high calorie foods to survive. People do not need to drugs or alcohol. Our bodies don’t naturally incline us to seek them out unless we have already become addicted.

When you stop eating junk food, you might feel a little bad, but you aren’t going to be hospitalized for tremors or other life threatening drug/alcohol related withdrawal syndromes.

Things can be bad, without being the same, internet. That’s okay. I would argue that junk food is bad for people and drives up healthcare costs. Drugs and alcohol are bad for people, drive up healthcare costs, take the lives young people everyday, causes property crime, and increases the likelihood of domestic violence.
