Siobhan, I appreciate your balanced comments on this. I think the term "obsessive" is loaded for many people. It's possible to make focused choices and be continually mindful of your diet in a relaxed way, without becoming unbalanced in an obsessive relationship to it. Relaxed effort that is inclusive of life is different from strained effort that narrows your life. One person might attend to their dietary concerns with a sense of ease and joy, while another person making even less effort might be engaged in constant struggle and tension with it. It's not the amount of time or effort or detail that's the issue, but our own internal relationship with it. -Karen
