Being overweight may not entirely be your fault – as it turns out, certain combinations of food are more addictive than others. Interestingly (and unsurprisingly) enough, the food industry has learned to exploit these things. Just how addictive are these foods though? In studies done on mice to find out how hard they are willing to work for certain foods (and thus measure there desire for it), the breaking point for foods high in sugar and fat were a step below cocaine. Animals are literally willing to work almost as hard to get either one.
