- I want to bring something to your attention. Addictive substances increase their addictive potential with each step in processing. So take a cocao plant for example, chew the leaves and they give you a nice relaxed feeling, but if you dehydrate it and turn it into power it can addict you rapidly in the form of cocaine and take it to the next step and process it to crack cocaine and you might just sell your soul for it!
- Expecting a food addict to kick their habit by examining food labels is like expecting a crack addict to get clean after attending a lecture on the danger of cocaine.
