It seems that a condition known as orthorexia nervosa "fixation on righteous eating"is now considered so extreme that it is characterised as a psychological disorder, the condition was named in 1997 by Dr Steven Bratman a californian doctor,the diet involves avoiding sugar,salt,caffeine,alcohol,wheat, gluten,yeast,soya, corn, and dairy foods,I make no judgement but present the information for comment.
With my love of cheese,alcohol,bread,sugar,and all the things proscribed by this diet I am in no danger from this disease so I take the information with a "pinch of salt",(cheap pun intended)as the saying goes all things in moderation,well nearly all,I have a number of personal exceptions to that rule.
On to the more important events of the day,the football season is up and running,but it's too early for a real picture of this seasons possibilities,I am watching as many games as possible on the television,and after watching the Holland England game came to the conclusion after seeing two basic errors in consecutive games by Ferdinand,I must be the only one out of step in considering him a posing liability,according to the sports pages he is injured and so will miss the next England match,is this a blessing in disguise?

I just try and eat the food that our ancestors ate. That is natural without artificial chemicals, flavors, etc. If this is a disease, then I along with all human kind up to about 100 years ago suffered from.
Unfortunately it is now the norm to eat processed food full of chemicals that render people, fat, obese and screws up their immune system to the point they are consistently ill with colds and flu's every year, not to mention more serious stuff like cancer, diabetes, autism migraines, etc.
