This was a clip played on episode 669 of the best podcast in the universe AKA ‘No Agenda’.

Here are a few things you should know.

#1. The DSM is the bible of mental illnesses.

#2. You are mentally ill if you’re concerned about what you put into your body.

#3. Don’t get any positive ideas about changing your lifestyle or eating healthy because it is a slippery slope.

#4. Gluten, dairy, sugar, and carbs are major food groups. If you cut them out you won’t have much else left to eat.

#5. The following are RED FLAGS that somebody is mentally ill and suffering from Orthorexia: losing a lot of weight, not going to unhealthy restaurants/parties, or being careful about what you eat.
