“While the rise of Whole Foods and the organic movement is inspiring many Americans to eat healthier, it’s also encouraging a controversial new eating disorder. People with orthorexia compulsively avoid foods thought to be unhealthy or unnatural—including foods with trans fats, artificial colors or flavors, high-fructose corn syrup, and preservatives. Many opt instead for strict vegan or raw foods diets. They’ll choose to eat nothing over something processed—and as a result, often end up malnourished and excessively thin.”
