orthorexia for the rest of us

As someone who has been accused of being orthorexic with my eating habits this video by Happy Healthy Vegan really hit home for me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DFsJS_FT2QE

Orthorexia is the latest installment, I believe, by the status-quo food mafia to discredit anyone who differs from the Standard American Diet (SAD) by insinuating what they are doing is caused by a "disease". As if, choosing to eat healthy or not takng part in the misery of the conventional food system meant there was something wrong with you.

Orthorexia is an obsession with eating foods that one considers healthy. In the mdeical industry it is defined as a "medical condition" in which the sufferer systematically avoids specific foods in the belief that they are harmful. I don't know much orthorexia really exists because all the stories I have heard about it just seem like people who want to eat healthier, which is good, but go about it in an entirely wrong way; Like restricted your diet with calorie intake or only eating one food in entire food group. 

I believe a plant-based diet is key. As long as you are eating lots and lots of plants it is hard to go wrong, especially if you only eat plants:-) 

And, this has nothing to do with eating (well, maybe it kinda does). but here is a picture of an adorable piglet. Awwww.....I could never eat you:-)
