Food first!

[Guest guest]

Most of us on this list will be aware of the various ways in which food

and medicine overlap. We have almost overdone that, to the point where

a whole new dysfunction was created: " orthorexia " , the fear that

you are putting the wrong thing into your mouth.

 

Orthorexia is often seen in very skinny people with multiple allergies

and sensitivities who respond to every health problem with a cleanse.

 

Michael Pollan's books could be seen as an antidote for orthorexia.

 

He is doing some blogging and inviting the public to comment.

Ien in the Kootenays, who is a fanatical label reader but definitely

NOT orthorexic.
