Are You Orthorexic?

   One of the newest "Psych" disorders is called Orthorexia Nervosa. 
This is an eating disorder characterized by the "Obsession" with
eating healthy foods.  If you want to eat foods without msg, chemical
additives, or foods that are natural, then you are probably suffering
from Orthorexia. 

  This is actually not that new.  This was a condition that was born
in 1997 by a California (Go figure) psychiatrist Dr. Steven Bratman.
As Dr. Bratman states, it is characterized by "a fixation on righteous
eating". 

   I guess I am not sure how to react or respond to this silliness.
If going out of one's way to make sure they stay healthy is
a mental disease, then I am REALLY NUTS!  I also go out of
my way to exercise on a regular basis.  I wonder what the
good doctor's diagnosis of that might be?

  I would really like to hear a comment or two from someone
as to how you might feel about this. 

To your health,

Bob
