They still are choosing sugar?
I’m addicted to nicotine and I actively choose to hit my vape, for example.

JackRiddle@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago“People are addicted” and “actively choose it” are contradictory statements. Addiction is a disease, not a personal failing.

I’d only refute the "active"part.
You physically choose to locomote towards the counter to make the purchase, you physically choose to lift the cup to your mouth.
The problem is your own mind is working against you to make that physical choice seem absolutely mandatory, via the importance of chemical signaling

Agree it’s a disease, but it’s also a choice. You choose to buy a big gulp when you crave it.
