Today I was reading online, eating some honey, and discovered an article about Winnie the Pooh. It got me to thinking about the adventures of this bear, and I realized something. Winnie the Pooh may well be a honey addict.
Don't get me wrong, every bear loves a good dollop of honey on everything that they eat, but there comes a point where the love of honey can become a problem. For example, if you think about some of the mishaps of Winnie the Pooh's life, you realize that they were all caused by honey. Either he had lost his honey, trying to find his honey, or had his head stuck in a jar trying to get more honey, and these are all indicative of a problem. He also exhibited hoarding behaviors, and was always afraid of running out of honey or trying to get more.
If you think about this, this addiction to honey clearly mimics someone with a drug problem. They always need it, want it, and are either scheming to protect what they have or trying to figure out ways to get more. It is clear to me that Winnie the Pooh is indeed a honey addict.
This shouldn't come as a surprise to most, as food addiction is well documented and highly publicized. Addiction can hit anyone in a wide walks of life, and Pooh's problem is one that just slipped through the cracks. It reminds me of Cookie Monster's addiction, which although widely publicized and helpful in making him famous, eventually led to so many problems in his life.
Food for thought.
