Has anyone watched A&E's show Intervention? Tonight's show is about a girl named Amy who suffers from bolemia! Wow. food can have such a terrible grip on people in so many different ways! Just terrible what she and her family is going through!!!

I use to watch that show all the time. food addiction either too much too little can be a bad deal!

I watch it everytime I see it on tv. I have seen several episodes now with eating disorders like bulletin and anorexia. I have yet to see one where they follow a morbidly obese patient who is addicted to food.< /p>

I think they definately should!

Netflix has a season of intervention available of instant download now. There are 3 episodes in this season about people with binging disorders. Of course, these three people are all average to underweight. I agree, they need to have a show centered around food addictions/binge eating of a person that is obese. I have watched 6 seasons of this show on Amazon Prime and they never did this on any episode. I can only speculate as to why.

When you watch these shows, its amazing the correlation you begin to see between drug addiction and food addiction. I know this first hand since I've had problems with both at different times in the past. Unfortunately, I've come across many morbidly obese individuals (with food addiction) that refuse to see this or be related in any way to a drug addict or their problems.

They did do an episode of "I'm addicted to food".... On Intervention in season 6... Think his name was Josh and he was about 550 pounds....
