Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement presents a characterization of orthorexia nervosa. 
Option True: Orthorexia nervosa is commonly described as an obsession with the quality, purity, and source of food—focusing on how what one eats is prepared, where it came from, and whether it meets certain dietary standards. In many discussions and clinical descriptions, the emphasis is on food quality over quantity, with distress or impairment arising from strict rules about what may be eaten rather than how much is eaten. This makes the statement largely accurate in describing the core concern of orthorexia as quality-focused. 
Option False: If we consider potential nuances, one could argue that obsessive dietary patterns may sometimes involve restrictive quantity as a consequence of quality rules (e.g., severely limiting portions to adhere to a “clean” diet). However, this would not make the core feature of orthorexia about quantity; the predominant feature remains the preoccupation with food quality and moralization of eating, rather than simply the amount consumed. Hence, labeling the statement as false would misstate the primary focus of the condition.
