In an attempt to curb the mass rush for food change and reform, psychiatry has green lighted a public relations push to spread awareness about their new buzzword “orthorexia nervosa,” defined as “a pathological obsession for biologically pure and healthy nutrition.” In other words, experts are moving toward saying that our demand for nutrient-dense, healthful food is a mental disorder that must be treated.



CNN, Fast Company, Popular Science, and other top outlets have all began to trumpet the talking points on cue relatively recently:





“Orthorexia nervosa is a label designated to those who are concerned about eating healthy. Characterized by disordered eating fueled by a desire for “clean” or “healthy” foods, those diagnosed with the condition are overly pre-occupied with the nutritional makeup of what they eat”.



In short, if you turn your back on low quality, corporate food containing known cancer causing toxic additives and a rich history of dishonesty rooted in a continuous “profits over people” modus operandi, then you may suffer from a mental illness. The cherry on top is that if you have the pseudo-science labeled disorder of orthorexia nervosa, you will be prescribed known toxic, pharmaceutical drugs from some of the same conglomerate corporations that you are trying to avoid by eating healthy in the first place.

Eat what we tell you to eat! So is this going to be our next "war?"First they came for the anti-vaxxers. Now they come for the healthy eaters. Be the herd. Be the herd....So, people are getting more and more aware of what they are eating. Big Food and Monsanto don't like it, so what would the logical thing be for them to do? Why, they shall mindwash us! Teach our kids that the atrocities they are perpetrating on our food chain is A-okay.And find a few stories about people with issues to start labeling people who want to eat well as, well, nuts. Of course. And soon the interwebz will use this to make themselves feel better somehow...to excuse their non-concern.Their caps, not mine. Popular Mechanics at it again.Even Tech Times.So who defines obsession? What if I don't want anything with pesticides or grown from Monsanto seeds in me? Am I obsessed?Am I worried? Nope...I'm sure Big Pharms will be along any second with a drug for this.
