It's interesting that you haven't said the same about those who are promoting it as a disease. So far it's not clinically recognized as a disease. So it's only
their opinion. Therefore, it's up to them to prove it and so far they haven't been able to. I don't think the burden should be on me to disprove something that hasn't been proven.
But I can tell you why I think it hasn't been officially accepted as a disease: They don't have any
specifics on any of it. If they would say that going below a certain BMI is a sign of Orthorexia, then that would be something concrete. But the promoters don't want specifics, in my opinion. That wouldn't work for them because they want
ALL healthy eaters to be under suspicion of having an unhealthy obsession. And the likely reason for that is because the fast-food industry is behind it.
