What exactly is Orthorexia Nervosa I know it is an eat disorder but how do you get it and what are the symptoms?

Thanks

It's an obsession with healthy eating, to the point where it becomes extremely unhealthy.

Yep.

Basically, not eating anything packaged, containing any form of additive, and being completely organic.
Or something like that.
