"Orthorexia boils down to someone who is very, very concerned with eating what they consider the perfect diet. This is someone who takes healthy eating to an extreme and feels good about it. These people often have a sense of moral superiority."
—Clinical psychologist Joy Jacobs describes orthorexia, a dangerous strain of behavior which "can wreak serious damage on the health of someone trapped in the obsession." So I guess my not giving a shit about what I put into my body makes me healthy? I'm off for a plate of mozzarella sticks then!

I had a roommate with this for three years in college - didn't realize there was a name for it. I just called her a bitch.
Moral superiority is the worst kind of mental illness.
this is why I insist on having absolutely no morals.
Didn't we just used to call this spiritual pride?
This information would have come in handy a few months ago when I was introduced to a friend of a friend who, within 90 seconds of meeting me, informed me that I had "no common sense" because I told her I hadn't rode my bike from Boston to wherever my local farmer was in order to quiz him on what sort of soil my organic (but not USDA Organic, "because that's a scam") produce was being grown in.
in Balkspeak 'plate' = baking sheet.
"Bucket."
"Microwave turntable"?
Opposite of orthorexia = apathorexia?
*reaches for cheez-its*
Ah, this explains my friend's "Grains are toxic" diatribes.
...and every "Milk will kill you!!!!" website on the internet.
Don't even google "Formula"
I think I'll go get one of those warm chocolate chip cookies from City Bakery now. You know, to feel morally superior to the Orthorexics.
Funny how Ortho makes weed and rat killer.
Mozzarella sticks aren't healthy? WAIT WAIT WHAT?!
They are all-natural, like cholera.
Well, evolution at its finest. It seems that many of you are unaware of and apathetic toward healthy eating, healthy living, and the effects of conscious choices. It's becoming evolutionarily necessary for us to wizen up, and ignorance like what I see on here is what is keeping this world stagnant and locked in old cycles of war, destruction, corruption, and violence. Maybe we could start giving a bigger shit instead of downplaying things?
Yay, now we have a name for the Skinny Bitch women besides, uh, the obvious?
