Orthorexia Nervosa???

Saw the subject brought up on Food Hospital, some time-eater on Cooking Channel. some guy was getting stressed b/c he only wanted to eat local and organic, and, wow, that was not always an option, or, it seemed to me, a truly consistent desire on his part (well, I guess one hamburger won't kill me, he said, or something like that, so, yeah, no it won't...the rest is up to you).

Anyway, apparently we now have another condition with which to be concerned. The more conditions we identify, the more conditions we can cure (or at the very least medicate), and the better the species will evolve going forth.

Right?

and the more excuses we have.

[JSngry]

Exactly.

So..on another segment of this Food Hospital show (which must originate in England, b/c of the accents and the totally bizarre on-screen spelling of diarrhea (they found a way to put an "o" in there somewhere), I have now also been introduced to the Bristol Stool Chart:

Speaking of excuses, I don't think I have a really good one for watching this show. Can I hs Condition Medicine for that plz?

[Chuck Nessa]

Great thanks for that chart. Now I can tell all family members what's going on.

I'm gonna have a drink of my "fiber therapy" now.

"Sounds like shit" comes better into focus now, as "fluffy pieces with ragged edges" sounds like at least two bands I've played in.

Also learned about FODMAPs...I now fear Galactans.

So if I eliminate fruit, vegetables, grain, meat and dairy products, I should be fine, right?

[Chuck Nessa]

You will eliminate everything. That is the message.

[JSngry]

So when nothing from nothing leaves nothing, we're there, right?

Not sure if there is where I want to be.

It needs wheels and a motor if it wants to get my vote.

When I used to work on a dementia ward, we had that poster on the wall at the nurses station! Haven't seen it in years!

This has got to be about the worst foodchart I've seen in my life. Brought to you by the Beef Council, perhaps?

Red (and white) meat is untouched when that was always what gave me the most digestive problems back in the day I still ate meat. Not trying to pick on omnivores, but a diet where you actively avoid fruits and vegetables is just stupid.

[JSngry]

Yeah, I saw the whole FODMAP thing and immediately thought that it was just a tiny bit extreme for somebody who didn't have a really specific GI issue.

But you knw how faddy food is these days!
