Because you can’t just abstain from food like you can drugs. Its about balance, not shutting them out completely.

Answer by *white_roses_honeybee*
it might be said that the difficult part about food addictions is that you can’t completely avoid food. When it comes to smoking, drugs, or alcohol, you don’t need any of those in your life to survive, so if you have an addiction problem you completely cut off those things. You need food to survive, so the challenge lies in making the right choices even when exposed to it and temptation on a very regular basis.
