FMP 074 • Orthorexia – The Lesser Known Eating Disorder Among Vegans



Orthorexia, a lesser known eating disorder not yet approved by the American Psychiatric Association, is characterized as an obsession with eating, ‘clean’ food. Individuals typically categorize food in terms of, ‘good vs. bad’ and are often concerned with putting, ‘poison’ in their body, going to great lengths to control the food they eat and how it is prepared by others.
