- Eating foods other than those considered healthy and self-approved results in feelings of guilt or even self loathing
- You use your dietary plan and your control over the foods you eat as a tool to avoid dealing with other issues in your life
- Other warning signs of the disorder include:
- No longer consuming many foods which you consider to be unhealthy
- Allowing yourself to eat only a few types of foods
- Seeking virtuousness from eating
- Finding that the way you eat has a negative influence on the quality of your life
- Experiencing some degree of social isolation due to your preoccupation with a strict healthy diet (for example, rarely being able to eat socially with people)
- Judging others for the way they eat."
Orthorexia: An Unhealthy Obsession with Healthy Eating

I don't judge others for the way they eat but I do have an issue with those who say they eat healthier than vegans or vegetarians. Maybe they do, maybe they don't but it's very judgmental to actually say that when they don't know the diets of those who choose not to eat meat and/or dairy products.
