I'd say any psychological addiction is similar to a food addiction. Psychological addictions to different drugs don't vary very much because they are all essentially the brain yearning for an experience that normal living by itself cannot provide. The only difference would be strengths, and that again wouldn't help b/c food addictions vary in strength among people.
If I were to compare food addiction to anything, I suppose I would say cocaine. Stronger than weed but weaker than heroine as far as psychological addictions go, which is about where I suppose food addiction belongs.
If this is for a project of some kind, just go with crack. It seems that addiction to anything non-drug is compared to crack, so just go with something that everyone thinks they understand.
