Rumors that the tendency to vegetarianism, WHO may officially recognize mental illness scared outraged vegans around the world, re-aggravated to the limit of their longstanding dispute with the traditional "carnivores."The conflict broke out serious.
That and the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" is also not left out - along with readers and experts, we continue to weigh the pros and cons of life without animal food.
"I feel that I perish with roast carrot" - Lisa Kalachova touching complained of the "12 chairs" and a rare carnivore did not sympathize with the girl that vegetarian dining with her "fake rabbit" arguments to hysterics. And so no less in the world right now according to various estimates there are up to 800-900 million vegetarians ...
A whole countries such as India, in its traditional cooking meat is not used at all. And what, now all these millions of urgently needed medical care? This seems especially odd when you consider that if the category is not quite normal automatically get such world-famous vegans as ... Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Leo Tolstoy, Bill Clinton, and many, many other outstanding individuals.
But a series of tragic events, the last of which occurred in a family of Spanish raw-foodists, many forced to think about, is it really so harmless vegetarian. The fact that parents are obsessed with the idea of raw food from the Spanish city of Malaga, thus brought their own children to the intensive care unit ...
Officially
So after all, took a WHO decision on admission of vegetarianism in the category of disease?
Tatiana Kolpakov, deputy head of the WHO office in Russia:
- The buzz around like a message of vegetarianism alleged bomb threat. All rush to seek a criminal, a bomb itself, deploying large-scale events, and eventually come to the conclusion that all this is someone's stupid joke. No official information from Geneva (where the main office is located VOZ.red.) We have not been reported.
Although if it really happened this situation, it is, at least, would be reflected on the WHO website.Now there is no such information.
Too impressionable in the village is not the place
- Refuse to animal food, and you can become a vegetarian for different reasons, - says Andrey Bryuhin, assistant professor of psychiatry, Peoples' Friendship University, specializing in eating disorders. - This may be a philosophy of life, like the Hindus, for example. Or medical condition, or - the ethical considerations. Some natures impressionable enough to visit the village and see how slaughtered cattle. That's enough, so that the image of death is firmly etched in memory forever repulsed hunting is all that breathed before, run or swim!
But then again, not all such "vulnerable." Most people are a couple of days "poperezhivayut" and then the appetite, drawn up in the process of evolution, the returns on their desks, and fish and meat, and chicken broth. So, to say that myasoedstvo - a deviation from the norm, or vice versa, that vegetarianism - pathology, it is not ethical.
But at the same time, many of my patients who suffer from bulimia or anorexia nervosa, also vegetarian, - said the psychiatrist. - In the case of vegetarianism - is "beautiful" motif, which they explain the violation of their eating behavior.
Assume that the philosophy of life can be turned into a disease when a person ceases to be critical of themselves, their actions and become literally obsessed with his own idea. Raw-foodists, driven to exhaustion did not agree with the fact that they do not seem that they are physically weaker. And in an outburst of fanaticism can pounce on the man with a chop, calling it a "corpse-eaters," for example. So, of course, without psychiatric treatment is necessary.
But more often, eating disorders, including obsessive adherence to strict vegetarianism, it is - a manifestation of other diseases. Waiver of any animal food, to the detriment of their health, plus the constant imposition of their ideas to others, nothing but the symptoms of a serious pathologies such as schizophrenia or personality change.
"Pros" and "cons" of vegetarianism and "myasoedstva"
- You can always bring arguments in favor of vegetarianism and against him - says dietician Helen Solomatina. - The most important thing to listen to your own body and choose the middle ground that does not degrade the quality of life will allow.
