I think mental illness are like cancer.

After a while everything starts to become one, or starts to give you one.

OP - can you cite/source that article?

I’d like to share it with others.

This is another one of those threads where if the first few people started tearing into orthorexia as a bunch of hippies eating organic alfalfa and worrying abotu losing their abs, then we’d have a bunch of jokes about gay vegetarians.
But it went the other way. Weird.

I just saw an episode of “Obsessed” and one woman walked on her treadmill for 3-4 hours a day and only ate once a day at 2am.

Yes, some people do take it too far and that’s probably what these “studies” are pertaining to.

Your comment interested me. Can you elaborate a bit on why you, as someone who works in a mental institution, think that most mental disorders are made up? I actually don’t disagree, but you have a unique perspective. I think that most back pain is psychological as well.

Agreed. I really wanna know who she is. I know that it’s an American Apparel ad that nearly caused me to stop my car in the middle of Manhattan to take a picture of a billboard, haha. If anyone knows who she is, I’d appreciate a pm.

Thomas Szasz - Wikipedia , some of you might find interesting. The debate has moved on a bit, thanks in part to Szasz.

I hate righteous eaters. I took a sustainable agriculture class and had to agree that organic foods are both sustainable and better but we also had a nutty veg head in our class. He once shared in his infinite wisdom that it was ok to eat fish because they would become a higher life form, in a discussion about hunting. I spear headed the pro hunting argument and crushed the opposition like a jagged stone falls upon a the head of a wounded wildebeest.

Making food a priority in your life is fine. Becoming a fanatic about it and finding it impossible to think of eating anything but foods that fit inside your rules is crazy. my tenth grade english teacher was a sad little vegetarian and once told us about her friend who would never eat anything that would kill a plant or animal and only ate things that fell naturally from a plant. Naturally he was a skinny little anorexic guy.

my sister is a vegetarian. I think she is crazy. she is over weight too

Moderation is the issue here, as it usually is…but evidently, according to the “guru” in the video near the end, I love the taste of fear

its delicius and only natural for predators such as ourselves to enjoy the taste of fear.

“Orthorexia is a nutritional god that you must bow down to or your a sinner.”

GOD DAMN! Whats up with this eh? Still I know people who look like this guy but eat shitty diets.
