Compulsive eating is far more dangerous and prevalent than many people would think. Apart from the lonely hell that it enslaves its sufferers in, filling them with feelings of guilt and shame; as they fill themselves with food, it also causes many health problems and can lead to death.
It is a problem of the mind which can be beaten with the correct treatment. If your first reaction upon seeing someone who is very overweight is scorn or derision (voiced or not) spare a thought for their situation. They could be one of the many compulsive eaters who are trapped in a metaphorical hole from which, for them, there may seem to be no escape.
