NEWS (19 MAR 2008): TV news program seeking orthorexics
A national (U.S.) TV network news program is conducting background research for a possible story on "orthorexia." Orthorexia is the colloquial term for an obsession with eating only healthy foods. It is motivated by a desire to feel healthy, natural, and "pure" -- as opposed to anorexia, which is motivated by a desire to lose weight. They are looking for individuals who who think their health-conscious behavior has taken over their lives (for better or for worse) and who would be willing to talk a little about their experiences All conversations are not for attribution. If you are interested, please email: emmygenz@mac.com. (This notice will be removed at some future time.)

Update March 2008: readers are advised that work on new material for the site is on temporary hold and will resume this Summer. The research compilations are complete (or nearly complete) for a number of new articles for the site. If time permits, some short new articles will be posted in mid or late Summer 2008.
