Question:

Oprah Winfrey recently went public about her struggle with food addiction: "My drug of choice is food. I use food for the same reasons an addict uses drugs: to comfort, to soothe, to ease stress."  Her downfall is chips.

             What do you think about this?
                    (vote for one)

  She has the same problem as many kids on this site, and she 
    publicly admitted her problem. So, maybe we could too.

  It's discouraging that someone as rich and smart as Oprah hasn't
    been able to conquer her weight (overeating) problem.

  This could push the government do something about junk food and
    encourage doctors to learn how to treat food addiction.

  None of the above (type below what you think about Oprah's
    confession):
    (Or type your comments about this poll):


Do you think food companies are causing food addiction?
                           yes
  no

Your age     height     weight (lb  kg)   female  male

                                     (1 stone = 14 pounds)
