Orthorexia is a new-ish eating disorder. As far as I can tell, it's pretty much the same as anorexia except that the impetus is not body image as much as it is purity of foods - which leads me to see in the OCD spectrum (mental health professionals might likely disagree with this view). Like anorexics, orthorexics tend to end up frail and malnourished, as you can see in the videos below. And like anorexics, orthorexics have a very limited list of safe foods.
