We have all had our taste buds adjusted to one level or another of
certain substances. People end up "learning" to have a "sweet tooth"
or "needing" more salt than they really need in their diets. Its all
learned, and we can unlearn these things. So, perhaps they aren't
really "addictions" per se, but they can be very difficult to
discontinue.

We need to learn how to appreciate and even love the things that are
good for us - like spinach and... dark, unsweetened chocolate.
