Question

You probably know the meanings of the words workaholic and alcoholic.

What do you think a foodaholic is?

Answer 1

Just as the word alcoholic means someone addicted to alcohol and workaholic means someone obsessed with work, a foodaholic is an informal term for a person who has an intense, uncontrollable addiction to food. Such a person suffers from compulsive overeating, often consuming food far beyond what their body needs, usually driven by emotional reasons rather than physical hunger.
