It's 'mental' to eat processed foods

Eating clean isn't crazy

(NaturalNews) It's no secret to tens of millions of Americans that Big Food is poisoning us daily with their fare. If that were not the case, then GMO-free restaurant chains like Chipotle wouldn't be as popular as they are, and sales of organic foods would not be reaching record levels year after year. Big Food, of course, isn't taking that lying down . "Mainstream" food producers may be enlisting the help of academia in getting Americans who believe in sustainable, clean food, declared mentally unstable.As reported by, scientists at the University of Northern Colorado, who recently conducted a case study about the obsession with healthy eating, have concluded that such clean-food preoccupation could be a mental disorder. They've even given it a name (because you can't have a disorder without a name, right?) – orthorexia nervosa, or ON for short, and researchers say the condition is made worse by a fear of being unhealthy and shunning low-quality, pesticide-ridden, GMO-laden, gluten-stuffed foods As thereported further:TheThe news site noted that today, 90 percent of products sitting on grocery store shelves in the U.S. are packed with processed foods, much of which are scientifically engineered to create physical and mental addiction . As such, these overly processed foods, which are also mega-portioned, have led to all sorts of medical problems – diabetes especially, but also heart disease and cancer, obesity and other chronic conditions. Given that even traditional medical science knows this, why would conscientious efforts by Americans to lower their risk of contracting these diseases – thereby driving the cost of health care down – not be encouraged, rather than vilified and misdiagnosed as crazy?That just seems silly – at least, for rational people. So what's the problem? Co-author of the recent study, Thomas Dunn, an associate professor at the University of Northern Colorado, notes:"Draconian diets?" If the good professor wants to talk about "draconian diets," he needn't look any further than what the average American household consumes on a daily basis: fast foods, processed sugars, sugary soda and food that is manufactured, not served in a natural form. If that weren't the case, then why is there an obesity epidemic in the U.S.?In Dunn's mind, if you meet two of the following, you might need some mental fixing:Is Dunn part of the emerging medical/academia clique attempting to work with the administration to get more people declared mentally incompetent so the FBI can take their guns away The reality is, good nutrition actually helpsmental disorders, as we have repeatedly noted. [ Here here , and here , for starters]. Clean eating is the key to sound mental health – not processed junk. And it's not "crazy" to eat that way.
