Oreos may be as addictive as cocaine, morphine

 1) How does people’s behavior differ when they are addicted to cocaine compared to when they crave fat or sweet foods? How is it similar? 



2) What, if anything, is the difference between saying that Oreos bring someone pleasure and saying someone is 
addicted to them? Do the rats’ results show whether they were addicted or just felt ordinary pleasure? Explain.





 3) Does everyone prefer health to gratification? If so, why does anyone eat junk food?





4) Do people have a choice about whether to continue eating Oreo once they have started doing so? Does the study tell us? Explain.

  • I personally do think that  you do have a choice as to if or if not you get addicted to Oreo's or addictive drugs.  I  knew someone who was addicted to Oreo's and she kept eating them and got huge.  Then.. the doctor told her she had to loose weight, she worked out more and stopped eating Oreo's.  I don't think that there's a such thing as an addiction
