Orthorexia is an obsession with consuming only foods that are pure and perfect.

I went on the web site but it confused
me. I have nothing against people who
r vegans but as with diets eating only
proteins or carbohydrates can throw ur
system into reverse. Eating sensibly is
the best way to stay healthy. I also don't
go for this green juice thingy. No matter
who says it doesn't taste that bad-IDK.
I just cant stomach drinking something
green and thinking bout Kale is even
worse.

I'm a level 5 vegan--I don't eat anything that casts a shadow ;)

Chicken nuggets are often whole and perfect in my opinion

You realize that nuggets are half not chicken, right?

I think that's how it often presents, but it doesn't necessarily have to be surrounding veganism. I had a therapist try to tell me I was orthorexic - I disagreed for a couple of reasons, but veganism was not part of the equation either way.

Wow I apologize I was totally not paying attention.

Hmm, I’m either orthorexic or am an extremely picky eater.
