It's more than taste or addiction. I believe so many see food as love. My first generation MIL came from an old Austria-Hungary tradition--eat, eat. Her kids, except for my husband, are all morbidly obese. My hubby used to be obese, too, until he saw all the benefits I gained by eating plants only.
It is rather socially isolating to buck tradition. I decided I'd rather live what time I have on earth feeling as well as I can than to eat one more piece of cake or cheese. Not everyone feels the same. We must not judge or push people. Example and quiet suggestion become us more as you seem to have discovered as well.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Have a lovely day.

“Then I was able to say about the effects of oil, how washing the dishes it sticks to the sink, where the rest flows down the garbage disposal. And how like it is the same as with our cells where the oil sticks, and they lose the ability to repel other cells, creating a sludge in the blood vessels.”
Thank you again for the reminder!
