Eating too much is not illegal. The actual state of being addicted is not illegal. If someone broke the law trying to get their next meal they would be prosecuted.

The US doesn't treat obesity or addiction, or we can say they treat obesity and addiction exactly the same.

Also, "the US don't ... (and persecute) obese people," in just a few moments I can find plenty of people claiming otherwise.
