Title: Dumb Question to pass the time: Can food be a drug?
Post by: bbbvvvbbbvvv on January 19, 2013, 04:27 am
As I sit here angrily munching on snacks, a time-wasting, post-increasing dumb debate question occurred to me: can food be considered a drug?

Go. I guess

I don't know about a drug, but I would say everyone is addicted to food because without it you would die, lol.

Well yeah true. I was thinking more in the sense of...something to do. Like opiates. They make me happy, give me feelings, pass the time - increase my standards of happiness. I can safely say that food does the same thing (as well as keep me alive).

There is also the whole idea of caffeine, tyrosine/tryptophan, any other chemicals naturally occurring in food that do things for your brain chemistry.

Honestly even though it sounds dumb, food can definitely become a drug to an individual.

I remember reading that most wheat (white bread) has chemicals in them that are very similar to opiates, and you actually experience small withdrawal symptoms if you stop eating bread.

So yes, food influences your brain chemistry which influences everything else therefore drugs.

Yep, all those yummy chemicals in food. Snacks? Gasp! I'm munching on snacks too!  :) Chocolate chip cookies. Yes, I know, I seem too happy, but hey, these cookies were made just for me.

Speaking of special cookies... Way back in the way, someone I knew made special brownies, went into school early and put them in the teacher's lounge. The teachers ate them up, and the day was much more interesting.  ::) The cool part is, most of the teachers knew that they were high, but they just kept on teaching. (This was the type of school that had cigarette burns on the toilet seats, desks, lunch tables.)

Just about all food effects you in some way. Just like drugs.

Food makes you feel happy or sad. It can give you energy or make you tired. Some crave it to the point of addiction. Some are good for you while others aren't . Some food can even cure (or cause) disease.

Sounds a lot like a drug.

Food alters your mind state in that it effects the productivity of it.

Should you eat shit processed food you wouldn't retain any nutritional necessities and your body wouldn't work as efficiently. Your brain is also a muscle and its efficiency would lack somewhat should you not feed it properly.

Food for thought.

Try cutting carbohydrates and sugars out completely. You don't actually need more than a tiny bit. Your body will throw a bitch fit though because you're addicted to them. After a few days of having no energy and just overall feeling shitty, you'll feel great.

Pretty much everything that crosses the blood brain barrier is a drug if I'm not mistaken. There are plenty of things in food that come under this category. Heck, you can eat dried opium poppy pods for their fiber and get high off of their morphine content.

Yes.
A great deal of compulsive eaters and overweight people are not eating out of hunger nor  cravings or nutritional need. They are actually eating to make the brain release a dose of  it's natural "chemical rewards" , similar to endorphins and such. They are eating to get  a chemical fix from their mind's pleasure center.
That's part of the reason it's hard to lose weight naturally.
When food companies advertise food on TV, if you watch carefully, you'll notice that they always associate food - with sex, love, well-being, comfort, joy ect.  and your mind has been  so absolutely saturated by those messages that  an apple will not release the chemical "feelgood" like the way a Cool Ranch Dorrito chip will.

Also you could say that  theres many alkaloids in all plants and vegtibles, most we have no idea how they affect the human mind/body.
