Isn't completely ignoring what you put in your mouth how people end up at 400 pounds?<br /><br />My problem with "orthorexia" is that there's no clear cut-off. If you don't want to eat junk food, then you're mentally ill? That seems a bit backwards to me. How come the people who shun vegetables and only eat food if it comes out of a box or a plastic package aren't considered mentally ill?<br /><br />Is this what our society has come to?raw by defaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869829059425607630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617569.post-32131154516741870922009-10-14T06:20:15.909-07:002009-10-14T06:20:15.909-07:00Great subject William,
Nice find and great topic...Great subject William, <br /><br />Nice find and great topic from Tom. <br /><br />I was struck by the term in the video, "Righteous Eating." Don't think you could find a better term. <br /><br />That's what it is and being in the field of fitness, nutrition, wellness... for so many years, I've seen all degrees of it. <br /><br />The world is on a giant continuum... there's far right and far left on just about everything, eating included. I've used other names for these eaters but obsessed, righteous... it's an issue. <br /><br />So often I see people want to make healthy eating about extremes, they want to know "how I do it." And then if they see me eat, they can't believe how damned normal it all is. <br /><br />And yes, Tom is right, Bodybuilding it out of the bell-curve, at least the middle. It too is a good thing gone bad. A case of overshooting the target. <br /><br />Muscle good. Only a giant muscle, on the brink of death = bad. Too bad... <br /><br />I could go on... but 'nuff for now. <br /><br />in Strength,<br />ShawnShawn Phillips | StartStrongMonday.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457663611955448884noreply@blogger.com
