Now, all of this is enough to make anyone a bit anxious…
““Now, all of this is enough to make anyone a bit anxious, and I’ve seen women, as well as myself when I first got started, develop a type of eating disorder called “orthorexia,” a term meaning hyper-correct/clean eating. This is behavior where a woman will only eat foods, and will delay eating until she is able to eat foods, that she feels are correct and safe—for orthorexics typically this means organic foods.””
