Officials Declare “Eating Healthy” a Mental Disorder

By Jefferey Jaxen

In an attempt to curb this mass rush for the exits, psychiatry has green lighted a public relations push to spread awareness about their new buzzword “orthorexia nervosa”. CNN, Fast Company,Popular Science, and other top outlets have all began to trumpet the talking points on cue 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 have 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.

In closing, here are public comments from influential doctors, psychiatrists, and whistle blowers dealing with the pharmaceutical bankrolled industry of psychiatry:

“There is no definition of a mental disorder. It’s all bullshit. I mean, you just can’t define it” –Dr. Allen Frances (called “the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the moment” by New York Times, April 19, 1994)

“There is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science” –Dr. Russell Barkley, clinical professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston

“In truth, the ‘chemical imbalance’ notion was always a kind of urban legend – never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrist.” –Dr. Ronald Pies, editor-in-chief emeritus of the Psychiatric Times (2011)
