Koreans addicted to kimchi?
When we speak of addiction, we must differentiate between physiologic addiction vs. psychologic addiction. In many instances, we see a combination of both physiologic and psychologic addiction. Many Koreans will tell you that they're addicted to kimchi. They're not usually referring to a physiologic addiction. They're probably not going to experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop eating kimchi. Kimchi can be addictive. Then again, almost anything can be addictive if we're just referring to a psychological addiction. We can convince our minds that we are addicted to anything.
