Comfort food

Anglosphere

As obesity is an Anglosphere hype and as I'm sick of personal entries, I'm posting this under said topic. Apparently lovesick teens turn to junk food.

A third of young people admit they turn to food when they are unhappy about their love lives, a survey has shown.

Not just teens, I can tell you. I've been eating a lot of heart-mending chocolate and take-away shoarma myself lately. But neither mends the heart nor takes away the pain.

Susan Ringwood, chief executive of the Eating Disorders Association, said: "Eating disorders can develop when someone uses food to try and control their feelings, which can be physically and mentally damaging.

"The best way to make a full recovery is to seek help as soon as a problem develops."

Okay then. Help! I still love her.
