The Plantation Pushes A Mixed Meme

Actually it quite accurate; a bit lame in execution but the food-sex comparison is right. Gorging on food in secret elicits dopaminic pleasure that can be likened to compulsive pleasuring of oneself. Such frequent pleasuring can result in the excessive production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters i.e dopamine, serotonin and acetylcholine.

Similarly binge eating can cause sensations to the brain that stimulates dopamine-4receptors to seek more food - the more sugary the stronger the urge, hence bingeing becomes an addiction.

IMO in this ad the message isn't mixed but rather there are two messages and one is hidden in another. More than that however is the link of obesity and masturbation is subversively playing on a (true/false) stereotype "fat white dude who eats himself into blindness and secretly gets off on himself bec nobody but Mommy will love him."

Kinda sad, really.
