Officials Declare ‘Eating Healthy’ A Mental Disorder

Posted February 18, 2015
Could we all really be mentally ill?

In an attempt to curb the mass rush for food change and reform, psychiatry has green lighted a public relations push to spread awareness about their new buzzword “orthorexia nervosa,” defined as “a pathological obsession for biologically pure and healthy nutrition.” In other words, experts are saying that our demand for nutrient-dense, healthful food is a mental disorder that must be treated.


CNN, Fast Company, Popular Science, and other top outlets have all began to trumpet the talking points on cue relatively recently:

“Orthorexia nervosa is a label designated to those who are concerned about eating healthy. Characterized by disordered eating fueled by a desire for “clean” or “healthy” foods, those diagnosed with the condition are overly pre-occupied with the nutritional makeup of what they eat”.

In short, if you turn your back on low quality, corporate food containing known cancer causing toxic additives and a rich history of dishonesty rooted in a continuous “profits over people” modus operandi, then you may suffer from a mental illness. The cherry on top is that if you have the pseudo-science labeled disorder of orthorexia nervosa, you will be prescribed known toxic, pharmaceutical drugs from some of the same conglomerate corporations that you are trying to avoid by eating healthy in the first place.......

Orthorexia has not yet found its way into the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), yet is commonly being lumped in with other eating disorders. Stepping back and looking at the ones pushing this label on us shows highly questionable motives.

Psychiatry as a whole is deeply in bed with a pharmaceutical industry that makes the drugs to “treat” every one of these “disorders.” It is often these companies that are wielding influence behind the scenes to invent more mental health categories with their toxic products as the answer. This latest media push to popularize orthorexia as a mental disorder with a goal to marginalize or derail the food revolution appears to have been dead on arrival.

The psychiatric community has even deemed creativity to be a mental illness.

As the people continue to walk away from the broken medical and agricultural/food systems like any abusive relationship, the food makers are willing to do anything to maintain their waning control. Organic and non-GMO food markets have exploded in the last 5 years, so much so that any corporation wishing to not follow the trend risks financial hardship or ruin. In addition, pharmaceutical companies are feeling the strain as less people want their toxic medications and crippling side effects...... more/hyperlinks

Orthorexia Nervosa | National Eating Disorders Association
Our Resources Are Currently Being Updated to Incorporate Changes in the DSM-5. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) has been updated with important changes to the diagnostic categories and criteria for eating disorders, including the addition of Binge Eating Disorder ....
Those who have an “unhealthy obsession” with otherwise healthy eating may be suffering from “orthorexia nervosa,” a term which literally means “fixation on righteous eating.” Orthorexia starts out as an innocent attempt to eat more healthfully, but orthorexics become fixated on food quality and purity.

I don't care how hard you try and make shit up like this you just can't . I like the food we grow and raise I take it over the crap you buy at a big store any day

Depends. If you treat a mental disorder that calls for nutrient-dense, healthful food with nutrient-dense, healthful food then what is the harm? However, should you treat this mental order with macaroni and velveeta then there might be a grievance.

Breakfast Food Blues: Kellogg’s Reports $293 Million in Losses Due to Slow Sales

Kellogg’s has the breakfast food blues: Consumers are continuing to skip cereal and snack bars and choose whole foods (http://investmentwatchblog.com/breakfast-food-blues-kelloggs-reports-293-million-in-losses-due-to-slow-sales/#)

http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png (http://investmentwatchblog.com/breakfast-food-blues-kelloggs-reports-293-million-in-losses-due-to-slow-sales/#) instead. The company reported $293 million in losses in the fourth quarter compared to $819 million in profits this time last year, according to The New York Times. Underperforming aspects of Kellogg’s portfolio are to blame, such as the company’s Special K brand, which targets those trying to lose weight. Kellogg’s Kashi brand, which includes its GoLean products, have also suffered weaker-than-expected sales, giving the impression grab-and-go products are on their way out.
According to Dispatch:
In its flagship North American division, sales for the breakfast-foods segment fell 7.7 percent for the period ending Jan. 3. Kellogg Co (http://investmentwatchblog.com/breakfast-food-blues-kelloggs-reports-293-million-in-losses-due-to-slow-sales/#)

http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png (http://investmentwatchblog.com/breakfast-food-blues-kelloggs-reports-293-million-in-losses-due-to-slow-sales/#)., based in Battle Creek, Mich., has been struggling to grow cereal sales as Americans increasingly reach for alternatives like Greek yogurt and breakfast sandwiches. CEO John Bryant has also conceded that Special K in particular has been hurt by changing attitudes toward health and dieting, with people showing more interest in overall ingredients, rather than just calories.
It’s unclear what the future holds for mega-brands like Kellogg’s, but it’s clear consumers are wising up to what healthyimage: (http://investmentwatchblog.com/breakfast-food-blues-kelloggs-reports-293-million-in-losses-due-to-slow-sales/#)http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png
http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png food actually is. Just because a food has fewer calories doesn’t mean it’s going to help you lose weight. Again, Dispatch:
The company said it lost $293 million, or 82 cents per share. Excluding one-time items, it earned 86 cents per share, which was still short of the 92 cents per share analysts expected, according to Zacks Investment Research.
It will be interesting to see if other processed foods suffer the same fate as breakfast food. Are frozen pizzas, chips and cookies on their way out as well? We’ll see, but this is certainly a step in the right direction for those who’d rather choose a plant-based, whole foods diet that’s free of mystery ingredients.

I normally do the opposite of what 'officials' want me to do. But in this case, I think they are right to call an obsession with 'eating healthy' a mental disorder. Whateverpeople consider to be 'eating healthy isn't. As near as I can tell, eating healthy means eating the way people did prior to 200 years ago--before there was widespread 'food processing' machinery in the world. If you can eat like the Romans or the Greeks or even the Vikings ate, that's what I call eating healthy. I realize that thinking that may get me labeled 'mentally ill', but think about it--people a few hundred years ago didn't have so much widespread chronic metabolic diseases--because their food had all its components there for them to eat--nothing removed.

No doubt some people are obsessed with eating healthy to the point it makes them sicker. Sure I consider it important to most of the time eat healthy, and keep an eye what I and what my children eat. I think the biggest problem is processed 'food', if you exclude that you have probably done 80% of what you need to do for your health. If you then exchange to organic produce most of the time you do another 10-15%. I saw in Turkey they have this "Organic UHT milk", that must be one of the most ridiculous products I've ever seen. First make sure the cows are raised according to Organic protocols, and then boil the living crap out of the milk... I think problems start when you become to obsessed with only eating exactly the optimal, sure there is a lot of crap out there, that is bad to eat, but it will not kill you or significantly shorten your life if you eat it once in a blue moon...

Depends on your use of the word "obsession", and on the real purpose of this MSM campaign. If you define, and use the word "obsession" as meaning an all-consuming drive to live a certain way, to the exclusion of everything else, then OK. But the real purpose of this media campaign is to mock people, to provide popular fuel for the mocking of people who don't like toxic food additives, processed foods, the whole high-carb low fat food pyramid thing which was just recently proven to be a giant lie, etc. The purpose is to prevent more people from going this way, because it impacts profits. Consider the MSM model used against those who are skeptical of vaccines. The same thing is being done to people who want to eat real food: you're all nuts, and diagnoseably so, and you should be shunned and shamed and laughed at, while the rest of us continue to believe the authorities who have our best interests at heart.

What they want is for us to get back to eating fast food, nutritionless megafarm food, and artificial flavor enhancers, sweeteners, and other chemical products.

[woodman]

I try to buy organic produce these days. It is usually at least twice as expensive. Worth it in my opinion. Even the fruits and vegetables that I used to think were healthy can no longer be trusted. Everything is contaminated with glyphosate (roundup) and it is doing a lot of damage to our guts. Carrots, beans, turnips, what-have-you, it is all contaminated or if it isn't, it might be, so one can't take the chance. It is a huge experiment to see just what humans can take and how long they can take it. Meanwhile they will destroy your life if they catch you consuming or even possessing many plant species for health or recreation reasons.

Study finds nearly one million U.S. children may be misdiagnosed with ADHD
Wednesday 4th March 2015

‘A research study conducted by a Michigan State University economist has found that nearly one million children in the United States may have been misdiagnosed with ADHD.

These diagnoses were often triggered by the child being the youngest (and therefore most immature) student in their kindergarten class.

According to the study published in the Journal of Health Economics, these students are more likely to be prescribed medication to modify their behavior than their older classmates. According to lead researcher Todd Elder, this can waste between $320 million and $500 million per year on unnecessary medication. Between $80-$90 million of that is paid by Medicaid.’

[Neuro]

wtf they measure the damage in how much it costs in pharmaceuticals? They drug down a million children unnecessarily, injuring them for life. You can bet the number is much higher than a million too, this shows only the age bias. You can do the same with teacher bias (I bet some teachers have many more children drugged in their class than others. And dr bias. Insurance coverage bias, etc. etc.
