51 transcripts Coursebook (audio + video) perfectionistic, obsessive, excessive, never ending quest for the more perfect diet, which could end up leading to a variety of physical and psychological problems. They may not count calories, it just so happens that they are eating a diet that’s very low in calories. Or they may not primarily think about weight, but they think that being thin is healthy. So a person with orthorexia will brag about their diet, a person with anorexia is hiding what they are doing. Interviewer: And obviously this pursuit of health and purity can be very restrictive and isolating, it means you can’t go out and eat with your friends necessarily, you might have to bring your own food wherever you go. Bratman: That’s the psychological and social problem of orthorexia, which is much more common than their being actual medical problems. People will go on a restrictive diet, so they can’t engage in that basic human process of sharing food with family and friends. People may have to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about their food, planning their food, preparing their food, and then people will place these requirements on their children, so that there are five- year-olds going to birthday parties who come with a long list of what they can and can’t eat. Food is no longer for pleasure, it’s only for the utilitarian purpose of improving physical condition. Interviewer: And do you think that social media is also perhaps causing more people to become orthorexic? There is a proliferation of food blogs with things like Kale’s movies pictured … Bratman: So all the food images promote a broad culture of obsessiveness with food, of unrealistic expectations. I mean, they’re all starvation imagery, it’s very closely tied in for women with the impossible physical standards and the impossible messages about food that women are always receiving. What I heard people say to themselves is, “I want to eat healthy, but don’t want to be orthorexic”. And that’s a shorthand version for really all the information those people need to know, which is, don’t be perfect. Perfection is an, is a source of craziness. Coursebook, Unit 04, exercises 22a and 22b (BBC Ö  01) Teen vox pops: Teenagers are exhausted in the morning./ I usually stay up till maybe like 12:30./ As soon as I get home, I’m online until I go to sleep. V/O: All those we talked to mirror what the nation’s 11- to 17-year-olds told pollsters in a new study by the National Sleep Foundation. 90% of parents think their teens are getting enough sleep, but in fact only 20% of American adolescents are getting the recommended nine hours a night during the school week. 17-year-old Carl Woke is one of these typically tired teens. Carl: I’m almost done with Spanish. It’s almost 11. V/O: And he let us into his weekday world to help us understand the fatigue factor. It starts with the alarm clock and getting ready for school, where Carl’s classes in suburban Maryland start at the early hour of 7:30 am. For some, that’s just too early. Q: Do you ever fall asleep in class? Irina: It looks cool. I like the colours: dark brown and light blue. Quite modern. Lizzie: Here’s the menu. Irina: Oh, thanks. Lizzie: What would you like to eat? Irina: Erm, what are you having? Lizzie: Well, when I’m very hungry, I usually have a jacket potato, I love their bacon sandwiches, but their salads are also very good. What do you fancy? Hot or cold? Irina: Well, hot, probably, as it’s not so warm today. What’s today’s quiche? Lizzie: It says salmon and cottage cheese over there on the board. Do you like fish? Irina: Well, we have it at home all the time, so I’ll probably have a toasted sandwich … But actually, what’s a jacket potato? Lizzie: It’s a big potato, baked in the oven, so it’s nice and soft inside, and then you cut it open and put all kinds of fillings in it. It comes with a salad – lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and so on. Irina: Hmmm. I don’t really like cheese, and tuna is fish again, and mayonnaise is too fattening anyway, so I think I’ll have a sandwich. What’s rocket, do you know? Lizzie: That’s difficult to explain. It’s a type of lettuce: dark green, small long leaves and kind of spiky. Do you know dandelions, the wild flowers? Irina: Dandelions? Lizzie: Yes, they’re very common, they’ve got yellow flowers, and people don’t like them because they get everywhere. Irina: Oh, I know. Yellow flowers, big thick ones … Lizzie: Well, rocket is a bit like the leaves of a dandelion. It’s nice, a bit bitter. It comes from Italy, I think. Irina: I think I know what you mean. Yeah, I like it as well. So I’ll have a Chicken Club sandwich. And you? Lizzie: I think today I’m going to treat myself to a BLT. Irina: A BLT? Lizzie: Bacon, lettuce and tomato. It’s delicious. Irina: And what’s granary bread? Lizzie: That’s brown bread and it’s got whole grains in it. It’s a bit tastier than all the white bread we get. Irina: OK. Lizzie: And what would you like to drink? I always, absolutely always, have to have the Cardio Angel. I just love pineapple and mango, and the combination is fab. Irina: I think I’ll go for something simpler, like the Winter Warrior. Lizzie: That’s got ginger in it – do you like ginger? Irina: Yes, I love it. And I even know what it is ( girls laugh ). I hope they put lots of it in. Lizzie: OK then, let’s order. Coursebook, Unit 04, exercises 18a and 18b ( À 09) Announcer: Listen to the FM4 interview with Steven Bratman, the doctor who invented the term ‘orthorexia’. Steven Bratman: Just as in anorexia people become obsessed to the point of ill health with counting calories and losing weight, in orthorexia people become obsessed to the point of ill health with the pursuit of healthy food. What happens in orthorexia is people begin by trying to follow what they believe to be a healthy diet, but that somehow they go beyond the point of health to where they activate a kind of Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
