ORTHOREXIA

The obsession about which foods are "good" and which are "bad" means orthorexics can end up malnourished. i think you mean happy and mentally acute Their dietary restrictions commonly cause sufferers to feel proud of their "virtuous" behavior even if it means that eating becomes so stressful their personal relationships can come under pressure and they become socially isolated. that's because their partner wants to shove Big Macs into their childs mouth so they do not become malnourished and they disagree with it

"The issues underlying orthorexia are often the same as anorexia and the two conditions can overlap but orthorexia is very definitely a distinct disorder," said Philpot. "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." i think you mean actually search for answers as opposed to have a government lay out a "simple plan" to follow

Deanne Jade, founder of the National Centre for Eating Disorders, said: "There is a fine line between people who think they are taking care of themselves by manipulating their diet and those who have orthorexia. I see people around me who have no idea they have this disorder. I see it in my practice and I see it among my friends and colleagues." HOLY SHIT, you know why, because more people are trying to eat better!

Jade believes the condition is on the increase because "modern society has lost its way with food". She said: "It's everywhere, from the people who think it's normal if their friends stop eating entire food groups, to the trainers in the gym who [promote] certain foods to enhance performance, OMG, can you believe that trainers are doing this, imagine that - "have this yam AFTER your workout and you might become better b/c of it"....(pause)..."WOW!" (sidenote, did you notice the OMG) to the proliferation of nutritionists, dieticians and naturopaths [who believe in curing problems through entirely natural methods such as sunlight and massage]. as opposed to what?

"And just look in the bookshops – all the diets that advise eating according to your blood type or metabolic rate. This is all grist for the mill to those looking for proof to confirm or encourage their anxieties around food." OK, OK, you got me there, what does "grist for the mill" mean?..i'm obviously not smart enough for this "founder" talk
