I believe people do have a choice to stop eating Oreo's once they started, I mean yeah there delicious but if you make yourself stop you can! Not everyone really considers health to gratification, probably cause as teens or kids most of us have a high metabolism and we don't really gain weight that much. Also , I think even if people are more healthy than others, they usually treat themselves to a sweet unhealthy treat for their progress. I think the difference from saying Oreo's are someones "Pleasure" and saying someone is "Addicted" to them is huge. In my point of view I don't think someone could actually be addicted to them. It just they are way more preferable, since they contain sugar! Rats show that they just felt ordinary pleasure from the cookie/ creamy filling. The article explained " Other rats were put in the same maze but given an injection of cocaine or morphine or saline when they reached the end" (6par), For instance, Oreo cookies dosen't have the same drug like ingredients them as the drugs did. However, they just triggered the brain as something enjoyable. In conclusion, even Oreo's may be addictive, but I don't agree they should be addictive as drugs.

I agree with you that there is a difference in eating a oreo once in a while for pleasure and stuffing your face with them as an addictition. I also agree that being addictive to oreos is different than being addictive to drugs. They mean the same thing but do differnet things to your body. You did a great job explaining this difference. The only thing I would change would be the size of your font. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteThis was a really good post, in my opinion. I agree with the fact, as stated above, that there is a clear line between addiction and indulgence every now and again. To improve this post, I would include a topic statement, as if I didn't know what you were talking about I would be lost. I liked your conclusion!
