Help! I am an Orthorexic!

In what is their latest attempt toward the insane, the psychiatric industry has now invented the most ridiculous disease ever: HEALTHY EATING DISORDER!

I want to know if there are shrinks for psychiatrists? There ought to be some. These people are nuts to the core! They are constantly making up what is now considered to be a never-ending attempt to fabricate "mental disorders" out of every human activity.

So let me see if I got this right, because I think perhaps I need to see a shrink. If I focus on eating healthy foods, then I am "mentally diseased" and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian newspaper reports, "Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder" and goes on to claim this "disease" is called orthorexia nervosa -- which is basically just Latin for "nervous about correct eating."

But apparently they can't just call it "nervous healthy eating disorder" because that doesn't sound like they know what they're talking about. So they translate it into Latin where it sounds smart to the rest of us uneducated dummies. That's where most disease names come from. Doctors just describe the symptoms they see with a Latin name and the rest of us are suppose to do an introspection of our lives to see if we are suffering from such.

"Orthorexia" disease, the Guardian goes on to report, "Orthorexics (this would be me – thank you very much!) commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out."

So attempting to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and sugar now makes a person like me a mental health patient?  According to these experts. If you actually take special care to avoid pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients like soy and sugar, there's something wrong with you. Shoot, just ask my wife and she’ll tell you that there is something wrong with me apart from these things.

But did you notice that eating junk food is assumed to be "normal?" If you eat processed junk foods laced with synthetic chemicals, that's okay with them. The mental patients are the ones who choose organic and natural foods – they are the sick people of society!

I cannot remember a recent time within the last four years that I have ever eaten junk foods at McDonalds, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, etc. And yes, for not doing this I am a sick puppy which is a primary reason I am a Christian. Jesus said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, except those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32).

I use to think that the worse profession to go into was being a politician. I would tell my kids, “You want to get back at your dad? You want to make me go nuts? You want to give me a serious blow? Be a politician!”

I think I’ll change that. “You want to upset your dad and get the last laugh? Be a psychiatrist.”

By the way, I am joking about the politician remark. The difference between a politician and psychiatrist is that “politicians” are included in the “sinners” category of Luke 5, whereas “psychiatrists” are in the “righteous” box. To the modern day psychiatry movement, Jesus had a “Messianic Nervosa Complexia” disorder. If anyone is to be granted by God eternal life, that person must come to the Savior for forgiveness of his sins. Well that cannot be done if all of issues are given a label that describes a sickness rather than a sin. The behaviors that are good are now labeled “sick” and the behaviors that are not good are consider common or normal.

When the devil fell, he had to turn himself into an angel of light and he did so by becoming the father of psychiatry. Anna Russell put today’s psychiatry in perspective with these words:

I went to my psychiatrist
To be psychoanalyzed
To find out why I killed the cat
And blacked my husband's eyes.
He laid me on a downy couch
To see what he could find,
So this is what he dredged up
From my subconscious mind:

When I was one, my mommy hid
My dolly in a trunk,
And so it follows naturally
That I am always drunk.
When I was two, I saw my father
Kiss the maid one day,
And that is why I suffer now
From kleptomania.

At three, I had the feeling of
Ambivalence towards my brothers,
And so it follows naturally
I poisoned all my lovers.
But I am happy; now I've learned
The lesson this has taught;
That everything I do that's wrong -
Is someone else's fault.
