Hmmm... are you a sufferer of "orthorexia nervosa"...?

[I Love Bimby!]

This is a funny story.  It would seem that many of us "health conscience" nuts actually have a mental disorder (Quirky Jo you're top of my list LOL  )

lol ilb that was a funny read!  so if we dont want refined sugars, chemicals, etc in our foods then we are the ones with a problem.... haha oh well i would prefer to have orthorexia nervosa then any of the nasty things i could get from a lifelong diet of preservatives and chemicals!!

Just read this and couldn't believe it. They will try and add a name to ANYTHING!!!

[I Love Bimby!]

They actually have a bit of a "automatic name generator" on that website so you can "create" any new disorder - all tongue  in cheek!

Yes em, would much rather be diagnosed with orthorexia nervosa than put up with that rubbish and deal with the heath consequences.

Oh dear!!!  Yes we definitely need to get Quirky Jo in for a check-up.

Well there you go... my ex was right. 

There IS something wrong with me mentally.

I hear you Ceejay t

This is one diagnosis that I would love to have!  Working hard at it, most of the time.

I think my parents and in-laws would definitely plant this on me - they try to be supportive or at least bite their tongues most of the time.  But also think I'm going a tad over-board.

Brilliant!

Don't fear Cathy, think you are among good & like-minded company here 

Just goes to show how "normal" junk food and rubbish has become 

[Tebasile]

Nice company here  , outside we have to pretend to be mainstream

You're right Tebasile, you can't beat your drum too much outside.  I remember at the demo I went to when I bought my machine having to listen to all that spiel about cooking from scratch, no preservatives etc - it held no interest for me at all.  All I wanted to see was the machine in action and taste the food (as I'm sure most people do). We have not been big eaters of junk food in this house anyway but I believe I have become even healthier than before because of the influence of this forum and the machine's capabilities.
