Do we gay people suffer from "Orthorexia" ? Orthorexia, or orthorexia nervosa is a term coined by Dr. Steven Bratman, a Colorado specialist, to denote what he considers to be an eating disorder characterized by a "fixation" on eating healthful food. Bratman describes orthorexia as an unhealthy obsession with what the sufferer considers to be healthy eating. The subject may avoid certain foods, such as those containing fats, preservatives, or animal products. The psychiatric community has not officially recognized the condition. Bratman's concept has been widely criticized by those who feel that focusing on healthful diet is generally beneficial and does not indicate a mental imbalance. Just look at these gay magazines and you know why we're health conscious.
