It's like OCD, for health food junkies.

To start off this rant, I'm going to link you guys to an article, so you're informed.

Now that you're all caught up, here goes nothing.

Ok, let's look at this from both perspectives.
I understand that it can be a mental disorder because people go to extremes to eat healthy, cutting out ANY kind of fat, anything that can be converted into fat, etc.

But what I don't understand is why it's a mental disorder.
So you want to live to see your grandkids, is that such a problem?
"what's that, you don't want to have heart problems, and die by the time you're 40? you must be off your rocker!"

Why is everything now days considered a disorder.
"I like to be clean, and shower once a day, as well as wash my hands before meals & after using the rest room, I have a disorder!"
"I like to be organized, and know where shit is when I need it, I have a disorder!"



p.s. Yes, I know the last rant, and this next one will all be kind of linked in a way, but that wasn't on purpose
