parentsfortruth,
You do not have a mental disorder, you have a sinful condition.
I wouldn't go so far as that. An interest in healthy eating is not sinful. Any more than a healthy appetite is gluttony.
An interest in healthy eating is commendable. But obsessing over hormones in milk that may or may not be causing some problems, pesticides on tomatoes that may or may not be causing problems, germs on the counter tops, etc. is problematic. parentsfortruth self-identified as having a psychological issue, I did not diagnose her. I simply pointed out that, based on the discussion in another thread, that her comments are treading very closely to the obsession area.
My husband is a mental health therapist. People are really quick to identify themselves with mental health problems, diseases, or disorders precisely because they prefer not to have any responsibility in the matter. SIN is personal. Identifying certain things as sin rather than disorder puts the ball squarely in the person court.
This is not disorder, it's sin. Period. Obsessing over one's food, whether its what we are eating, how much, how its made, who made it, etc. IS sinful.
Does that mean we shouldn't be aware that 95% of corn is genetically modified? NO. Does that mean we shouldn't be aware of the conditions of chickens in egg laying houses? NO Does it mean we shouldn't limit our intake of fast food, sweets, and potato chips? NO It only means that we should be responsible and eat as healthy as possible.
