Healthy Eating May Be The New Eating Disorder
2015-04-13
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK]
  • Orthorexia nervosa is the term coined for the 'health food eating disorder'
  • Sufferers may be 'plunged into gloom' by eating a piece of bread
  • They may become anxious about when their next superfood hit is coming
  • Exaggerated focus on food can be seen in raw, clean and paleo dieters

These are anxious times, and those succeptible latch onto whatever will soothe it.

Personally, I think potato chips should be their own food group.


Personally I just try to be sure that I consume a few servings of each of the four basic food groups ever day. Those being, of course, sugar, fat, alcohol and caffeine.

#3  Two thoughts: if you tried to get to your 2000+ kcal a day without consuming any 'empty calories', with every bite being 'nutrient-rich', you'd likely overdose on half a dozen vitamins and minerals; and no matter what you eat, even if you've somehow found the perfect healthy diet, guess what, your body still burns it all using that viciously toxic gas oxygen.

#2   One of my geology profs used to explode if you mentioned 'organic' food around him. Course if you wanted an hour long lecture on how horrible organic food is for the environment in terms of wasted fresh water, crop loss and soil depletion, it was a good distraction.
