Aha, I haven't really looked much into it just yet, but I thought the title and the article was pretty...funny.
Suddenly eating healthy is part of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
XD Ah, I know my newest internet 'research'.

It's crazy, I won't lie. But to be honest, anything obsessive is a disorder in my opinion. No need pinpointing 'what' it is.

I think it's probably a sign of other mental illnesses to obsess over how "sick" you are.
Also, raw food-ists are missing out on a lot of nutrients that can only be achieved by denaturing the food before digestion.. .that is to say, by cooking their food. In a way, it's not really more healthy so much as it is the ultimate exaggeration of healthy ideals of avoiding very processed foods.
I'm not here to argue that, though.

Haha, that's like me. dramallama
More extreme to what I do though. It's easy to get caught up in the healthy fad. Looking through my Alive and Vista magazines, they're always going on about This or That in regards to health. You should eat This because it'll give you clear skin, healthy hair and you'll live to be 209808 and definitely do not eat That because it'll give you a beard on your elbow and proceed give you foot fungus.
Just a case of information overload and fear mongering. Some take it as truth, some say fudge it and do whatever, and others take it with a grain of salt.

That is frightening... I wonder if nutritionists will eventually start enforcing the cheat day as imperative to psychological health.

For some people it's really easy to get into a routine.. and once you break the routine you freak out. D:
Healthy eating is no different. >3

Healthy eating in and of itself is not classified as a disorder. What they're referring to is people who are so obsessed with eating in a "healthy" or "correct" manner (note the quotes) that they are actually causing damage to themselves. An example of orthorexia - or more specifically, orthorexia-by-proxy - would be certain raw vegan parents whose children are suffering from malnutrition, but rather than admit there's anything wrong with how they're feeding their kids, simply decide that everyone else's children are "overgrown." In a nutshell, trying to eat healthy food doesn't make you orthorexic. Trying to eat "healthy" food despite the fact that it's actually making you sick or being so obsessed with eating healthy food that you can't even function in society does.

This is the real issue. One thing that stands out is the "perceived to be unhealthy" part- they're not looking at the science of it, they're going off of beliefs that might or might not be right.

I couldn't read the entire thing. I just don't get vegans. (I had once subscribed to a vegan blog but unsubscribed when they started bickering over vegan cat food. rolleyes )

Anything taken to extremes can be a disorder

If that's a disorder, I see it more along the lines of a branch stemming off from OCD

Jeddi-kun If that's a disorder, I see it more along the lines of a branch stemming off from OCD I think when you combine an eating disorder with OCD it could be considered it's own thing.
