Orthorexia

I've seen articles lately on a behavioral disorder called "orthorexia nervosa". The idea is that you can be too obsessed with "healthy eating", often on the basis of some inadequately researched food fad.

"All I could think about was food. But even when I became aware that my scrabbling in the dirt after raw vegetables and wild plants had become an obsession, I found it terribly difficult to free myself. I had been seduced by righteous eating."

Either I never had this, or I'm in remission.

I fear my tastes in food
are kind of rude.

I think that gluten's yummy
in my tummy.

And I've been known to spend the day
munching chips from Frito-Lay.
