Rubbish! Varona raise oxen to get dietary disorder? (8,7)
I believe the answer is:
anorexia nervosa
'dietary disorder?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'rubbish varona raise oxen' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' indicates an anagram (a poor quality or rubbish spelling of the letters).
'varona'+'raise'+'oxen'='varonaraiseoxen'
'varonaraiseoxen' anagrammed gives 'ANOREXIA NERVOSA'.
'to get' acts as a link.
