Why we cite it
The first book to identify, name, and describe orthorexia nervosa as a distinct eating disorder — an obsession with food quality (not quantity) that becomes pathological. Draws on Bratman’s personal experience and clinical observations to explain how the pursuit of dietary purity can damage health and relationships, and provides practical strategies for recognition and recovery.
