Yes.

And to the extent that observant Jews have two sets of cookware and a
list of rules about what can and can't be eaten together, it is orthorexic.

Ahh, "delighting" is different from nitpicking. Italians don't have a
set of rules like kashrut or veganism whereby they eliminate or obsess
about what can or can't be eaten, either alone or with other foods.

Your top-posting is poor netiquette.
