Food addiction is defined in contemporary literature as a chronic and dynamic disorder characterized by loss of control and tolerance, stimulating the brain's reward system in a manner analogous to psychoactive substances. Distinguishable from substance addiction—where the primary strategy is "total avoidance"—the biological necessity of food for sustaining life renders the recovery process more complex, shifting the fundamental objective toward the acquisition of "controlled eating skills".Research indicates that purely didactic education based on information transfer is insufficient for achieving sustained behavioral change. Consequently, the implementation of "environmental design” interventions within educational settings—such as the reduction of portion sizes and enhancing the visibility of nutritious options—alongside the cultivation of media literacy skills, carries strategic importance. Regulations enacted in Türkiye, including the "School Food Logo" and the nutritional categorization of food items into Green, Orange, and Red groups, represent critical milestones in structural intervention.Ultimately, strategies to combat food addiction and obesity must transcend paradigms that reduce the issue to mere individual willpower. It is imperative to adopt a state-led, multi-sectoral, and integrated public health perspective that encompasses the regulation of industrial supply, the restriction of predatory marketing, and the facilitation of equitable access to healthy food, independent of socioeconomic status.
