Orthorexia is also caused by a host of extreme diets: Raw foodism, which echoes the mantra ‘the greatest enemy of man is the cooking stove, macrobiotics, which mandates that vegetables be sliced in a certain fashion; the self-explanatory fruitarianism; and breatharianism, or extreme fasting.  One has visibly moved into an orthorexic approach to life if most of one’s time consists of obsessing about the next meal, eating it or resisting temptation, condemning oneself for lapses, praising oneself for success at complying and experiencing feelings of superiority over others less ‘pure’ in their dietary habits. |
