Overall, I liked the article. I believe that the first bit of advice-to eat mindfully-is one of the most important lessons we can learn. With that said, I agree with Lola. I also do my best-even "obsess" to eat foods from local, small scale producers. I think the article wasn't really about that kind of healthy eating, but it's an important distinction to make.

Choose whole foods instead of processed and packaged ones whenever you can

By “whole,” we mean they should exist in nature and have just one primary ingredient (for example, bananas, broccoli, chicken, brown rice, milk). Ninty percent of the time, these goods are the healthiest, and eating mostly whole foods makes it more likely that you’ll get enough protein, fiber and whole grains . And eating fewer packaged foods should help you avoid excess sodium, sugar and calories.

This is a rather ridiculous article or blog or what have you. First of all, people who are eating healthy and do not like to eat “un-healthy” foods, (so called “health freaks”) are worried about more than just calories or fat. They are usually not even concerned with fats and calories, especially as long as they are good fats. When I eat food my concerns are: not wanting to eat genetically modified foods, or foods with pesticides & other chemicals that cause harm to my body. As well as, I am concerned with the what, where and who I buy my food from. I personally do not want to buy food from power and money hungry corporations that do not give a pouf about peoples health (or their own health for that matter because they believe all of their “a little bit of pesticides wont hurt you etc…” propaganda) or ruining the small farmers, nor would I want to be purchasing meat where animals are not only inhumanly kept and slaughtered, but the majority of their meat gets wasted and is barely consumable for those people who do eat meat. Not only do I have those thing in mind when I buy food and go out to eat, but in general on a day to day basis if I am going to buy food (because I have no choice I need to eat) than I want my food working for me, not the other way around… meaning if I am going to eat something I want to get nutrients, vitamins, minerals… I do not want to feel sick and tired and generally slow. Food is expensive enough, even when you eat unhealthy, so it is not worth eating what should be uneatable food. Big macs are not a treat, this would only be the case if a little bit of arsenic was a treat. If only people where educated about food. It is not wrong to eat a hamburger if you like to eat meat, there are just better ways to go about it… it is wrong to eat a hamburger that came from a cow who was like aforementioned, kept and slaughtered in unacceptable conditions and who’s meat has been treated with unearthly chemicals.. not to mention cut up in a sea of disinfectants that should not be near food, then packages and frozen and thawed and frozen and so on, until all you are eating is meat with red dye that went bad before it was good. Any real health conscience person knows you can eat your edamame and have your vegan/gluten/raw food cocoa bean cake too. Point being… people who have this supposed “Orthorexia” I think are really people more concerned with the way they look than the way they feel… Not real “health-freaks” like me.

Okay so… I have to say it: Melissa said "vegan" once in the article and that was in the "don't classify yourself" section–which I think was more in relation to the "orthorexia" than being a vegan or vegetarian. And I only say that because I find it interesting that two of the people who commented were so quick to defend being a vegan.

But besides that, I can totally see where they're going with the whole… giving the worrying too much about you eat thing a name. My sister does that and it worries me–at 5'1", she barely weighs 100 lbs. And she just now started worrying about food all of the time. And it's not even about being a vegetarian or vegan or whatever she wants to be because she worries about things as far as how her vegetables are washed, and if meat sits out for as long as 5 minutes (i.e.- when defrosting it. Just the idea of it sitting out freaks her out).

When eating becomes primarily a health routine most or all of the pleasure evaporates. On the other hand, if one eats a widely varied, tasty menu one gets not only all the pleasures of gastronomy, but a wholesome diet automatically.

Eat for pleasure, open yourself to the vast variety of the foods eaten worldwide, and you are almost guaranteed a healthy diet. (Of course, too much of anything is not a good thing. The gourmet is not a glutton.)
