Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I have had this. I have had excessive fears about some foods and excessive concern over the proper diet. Now...I don't think not eating animals is one of them...that is a real values based choice...and important one. I think it becomes excessive when so much of ones life is taken in thinking about food, nutrition what one is going to eat, guilt over having eating the wrong foods...instead of living.

"I'm telling you, you have it"I thought that she was joking at first, she's a nurse, but I've never heard of this term.but I looked it up and sure enough, Orthorexia is a person who suffers from an obsession with healthy foods. there is a website, www.orthorexia.com.she is a school nurse in the bronx.her job is to administer ritalin to kids in school every morning.anyway, I don't think I have this, I am just trying to analyze her comment, as my thought is that she probably just has a problem with veganism. -anouk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought it completely natural and heathy to make sure you are eating healthy food, Jo > > > > What's the medical term for people who don't think twice about the > crap they shovel in their mouth?
