    That's what I'm talking about. It's probably rare to see someone jacked up on cake, trying to shake the cops all high speed and drooling aspartame, but we're talking comparable.. not exact match. Not even all drugs are an exact match when it comes to how they affect us. We're talking what it does to you, not what it makes you do to others; although both can hurt those around you. We're talking addiction and we're talking illness and death. It's all comparable and I would love to know what the death rate is for food related illness. Heart disease is right at the top and many of them are food related. So many other food related issues kill people too.

    Anyway.. addiction makes it *comparable* regardless.
