That's not how orthorexia nervosa works. It's not an "obsession" in the colloquial way you're using the term but an actual pathological obsession. A diagnosable mental health condition. Your comment is incredibly insensitive (I hope because you only bothered to read the title) and is the equivalent of telling someone with a cold that there's no need to cough.
- rofo1 8y agoI stand behind what I wrote, cause that's the truth. I can't understand anyone being offended by it. Not a fan of the way we are blowing things out of proportion so much these days. Eating right is not that difficult. It's not difficult AT ALL. The mere fact that we are discussing this is insane, to me. There was a point of time in history where civilizations routinely starved to death - THAT was difficult. Having the most abundant choice, and voluntarily picking the wrong one, all the time, all day every day - I just can't sympathize with that and call it "difficult". Especially if you know what you are doing. And you must know, cause you'd figure it out by the results pretty quickly. (Not you in particular, it's a general statement)
