The food addict is usually addicted to carbs. You don't find many people addicted to steak or asparagus.

I don't dispute the addiction aspect, however I don't ever remember blacking out on chocolate chip cookies. When I used to light a cigarette the high was minor compared to other drugs, and I never did it to avoid pain. To give myself comfort perhaps. And maybe that's a further angle we should examine.
