Being concerned with food is one thing, but being consumed by food selection can go beyond passion to unhealthy obsession. It can be likened to cleanliness. Some people are negligent and live in deplorable conditions, then there are people in the normal range who vary from messy to tidy, and then there are the germaphobes who go way beyond washing hands and sanitizing cooking surfaces. While staying clean is a good thing, it can lead to isolationist behavior and being afraid of human interaction for fear of germs. Eating healthy is a good thing, but at some point there is a line separating the spectrum of normal from extreme to the point there is an unhealthy attitude toward food. It could be an eating disorder as sure as bulimia or anorexia if carried to ridiculous extremes. The question is a matter of where you draw that line between passionate and disorder.Gael https://www.blogger.com/profile/12775204939823621497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787698713835410146.post-23412595130490507462011-05-17T11:43:24.483-04:002011-05-17T11:43:24.483-04:00Wow.
