Like ADD and ADHD* some normal human behavior has been redefine as a disorder so as to sell drugs.....Where will it end.
Orthorexia indicates an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy food. Sounds very much like Anorexia to me
Consider the following questions. The more questions you respond “yes” to, the more likely you are dealing with orthorexia.
1. Do you wish that occasionally you could just eat and not worry about food quality?
2. Do you ever wish you could spend less time on food and more time living and loving?
3. Does it seem beyond your ability to eat a meal prepared with love by someone else – one single meal – and not try to control what is served?
4. Are you constantly looking for ways foods are unhealthy for you?
5. Do love, joy, play and creativity take a back seat to following the perfect diet?
6. Do you feel guilt or self-loathing when you stray from your diet?
7. Do you feel in control when you stick to the “correct” diet?
8. Have you put yourself on a nutritional pedestal and wonder how others can possibly eat the foods they eat?

Now I have answered yes to the following 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and sometimes for 8.....thats six out of 8 how did you do?
* I am not saying that all who suffer with what is defined as ADD and or ADHD are well.
