I used to think my friends that cared so much about health foods were just a little eccentric. The truth is I fell into the health food craze from time to time, but not like my friend Stacy. She would always be after the next best health food fad. One day I noticed she had lost a lot of weight. She also never wanted to hang out with us since she thought it would cause her to splurge. (She didn’t know about my bulimia then) Soon after she was officially diagnosed with Orthorexia Nervosa otherwise known as the healthfood eating disorder where the sufferer becomes obsessed with their healthfood diet to the point where they turn it into a religion.
Now Stacy is fully recovered and much more sketical about health food.
