Cojab said her addiction stemmed from stress.

She was the president of a Zionist student group called Realize Israel, at odds with other student activists and professors calling on the university to sever ties with Israel.

It's so incredibly disgusting seeing a puff piece about a Zionist crybullying over a cheese addiction, posing with large blocks of fancy cheeses, and talking about expensive rehab far out of reach of the average person, all while her ideology is responsible for ongoing mass starvation and genocide against Palestinians.

Also, I feel like there's a slammer meme somewhere in here zionist-despair 🧀🧀🧀🧀 qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

Dr. Neal Barnard, author of the “Cheese Trap” and adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine, explained people like Cojab become addicted to cheese due to the high concentration of fat and salt in the food, along with a protein known as casein that can “get people mildly hooked.”

I'm torn between respecting the grift and revolsion to the way they're inflating and pathologising the first world problems of spoilt bougies.

“Cheese contains opiate chemicals that attach to the very same brain receptors that fentanyl or any other narcotic attaches to,” he said, adding that due to the high concentration of casein in cheese, “some people refer to cheese as ‘dairy crack.’”

Lol. This bullshit artist is just making shit up at this point.

Attending a two-week wellness retreat at Hilton Head Health in South Carolina, which costs at minimum $5,820 a week, helped the asiago addict gain control over her eating disorder. Instructors and counselors taught her the basics of how to order and prepare healthy meals, count calories and consider healthier snacks, like blueberries or popcorn in lieu of havarti.

What a fucking gift. We'll charge you enough to buy a nice car just for telling you to eat fruit instead of fat and salt.

Her weight has since dropped to a string-cheese-slim 123 pounds, in part aided by Ozempic prescribed to deal with her diabetes risk, she said.

And then we'll get you weight loss drugs and take credit for it when they work.

Is the western elite really just a bunch of spoilt failchildren held together by an ecosystem of intermingled scams, grifts and fads?

Cheese does contain chemicals that bind to opioid receptors. It's part of why people like it.

I don't really like to make fun of someone for having a peculiar eating disorder or addiction, even if it is funny. The part that's really gross about all this is weaponizing it against people protesting an immensely greater suffering. It's disgusting to say that someone stress eating (even if it might trigger a relapse into significantly disordered behavior, which it sounds like it hasn't) should make us pause before decrying famine.

What's funny is that this is the best they could come up with, something that you have to expect most people will laugh at.
