Coming Soon to a DSM Near You: Paleo - The Newest Eating Disorder

I thought I'd bring you some free entertainment to start your Friday with, compliments of the news media and some professional shrinks who may or may not have sold their souls for a little Big Food/Big Pharma bribery.... 

Did you know that there is a new movement to consider "raw, clean, and Paleo" eaters mentally ill? 

I kid you not. Feel better when you eat clean? Enjoy "superfoods" like chia seed smoothies or kale? Resent consuming, let alone paying money for chemical and GMO-laden crap? Plan to be diagnosed with "orthorexia nervosa" - the new "health food eating disorder", nominated by some for inclusion in the next edition of the DSM-5 (the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual). 

You can check out the article here. I won't really rant any more than that, because it's so ludicrous already I don't even have to. Enjoy your weekend, and remember - watch out for those veggies! You don't want to eat too many and have people start thinking you're crazy.... :P
