I’m addicted to food. I go without eating for 8 hours, I feel like crap. I’ve not even been able to go a whole day without it.

Really, it’s my mom’s fault. She ate while I was in the freaking womb. IN THE FREAKING WOMB!!! So I was born addicted to food. Even breastmilk isn’t safe so long as the mother’s eating food, and breastmilk is really a gateway drug to mush, which is a gateway drug to real food anyway.

Won’t Doug Sellman help me?

After the low-hanging fruit like public sanitation and vaccinations were gone, public health went mildly insane as a field.
