Headline should have read "junk food can be as addictive as heroin and smoking for some rats." Gives a whole new meaning to the Ingrid Newkirk "a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy" quote. The left is simply trying to take the anti-tobacco strategy and use it on foods that they don't like. According to the newspaper article, the junk food study was a rat study.

At the very least, I would think binge drinking the night before a test would interfere with last-minute cramming for a test.
