Mental health experts: People who eat healthy are mentally ill
blacklistednews.com
The extreme desire to eat pure, uncontaminated, healthy food has now been diagnosed as a mental disorder known as orthorexia nervosa, as per a new medical labeling trend.
According to The Guardian: “Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out.”
Ursula Philpot, chairperson of the British Dietetic Association mental health division, was also quoted voicing her concerns over the seeming “rise” in the number of orthorexics nowadays: “I am definitely seeing significantly more orthorexics than just a few years ago. Other eating disorders focus on quantity of food but orthorexics can be overweight or look normal. They are solely concerned with the quality of the food they put in their bodies, refining and restricting their diets according to their personal understanding of which foods are truly pure.”
“Those most susceptible are middle-class, well-educated people who read about food scares in the papers, research them on the internet, and have the time and money to source what they believe to be purer alternatives,” she added.
Now, take a look at this logic: If you’re a well-educated person concerned about the quality of food you put into your body, you have a mental disorder — how insane can the mental health system be?
