Are Perfectionists More at Risk for Orthorexia?

Orthorexia is a condition in which someone obsesses over eating healthy foods. They tend to avoid any foods they consider to be harmful, including “junk food” or anything that could possibly be called unhealthy. Except, perfectionism isn’t about expecting the best. It’s about, quite literally, expecting perfection.
