Most get hooked because our society is unwell from the top down.

And yet the vast majority of people in that unwell society don't end up being addicts. So there might be some other factors involved besides that, that are more relevant to the actual problem.

So addiction determines someone's right to eat? You see that's the difference between you and me. No matter how bad things get for you, I always want you to be fed, loved, housed, have community, access to educate, etc. Because I know those things are not in real short supply. Just those who have never been on the other side.

Pretty much every person that I know is addicted to caffeine. And those who aren’t have a serious sugar problem.
