英國奇女子：31年人生只吃披薩過活

Thirty-three-year-old Claire Simmons, of Notting Hill in London, is in a monogamousrelationship with a dangerous partner: pizza.

33歲的克萊爾·西蒙斯來自倫敦諾丁山，她一直對一個讓她陷入危險的夥伴忠貞不二，這個夥伴就是披薩。

For the last 31 years of her life, she has eaten nothing but plain cheese pizza for every single meal, she tells the Sun. And now, her doctors say that Simmons' monotonousdiet could kill her.

她在接受《太陽報》採訪時說，在她過去的31年人生中，她每餐只吃一樣東西：普通的奶酪披薩。而目前她的醫生則表示，西蒙斯這種單一的飲食可能會讓她喪命。

Simmons says she exercises and drinks plenty of water. The problem is that her limited diet -- the result of a mental illness known as Selective Eating Disorder -- doesn't provide all the minerals and vitamins she needs for solid health.

西蒙斯說她平時會鍛鍊身體，也會大量飲水。問題在於她過於單一的飲食——這是由一種被稱爲“選擇性飲食失調”的心理疾病導致的——無法爲她提供健康所需的各種礦物質和維生素。

Simmons exposed her difficult story to the public after reading the story of Stacey Irvine, sometimes called "Chicken Nugget Girl," a fellow Brit who was hospitalized after eating only chicken nuggetsfor a decade and a half.

西蒙斯是閱讀了史黛西·埃爾文的故事之後纔將自己的怪癖公之於衆的。被稱爲“炸雞塊女孩”的埃爾文也來自英國，她連續15年只吃炸雞塊，最後被送進了醫院。

This fall also brought to light the story of Jonathan McGowan, a UK man who, for the past 30 years, has refused to eat any meat except roadkill. The BBC has even aired documentary-based multiple series on the topic of extremely picky eaters. Could there be something in English water that gives its drinkers Selective Eating Disorder? Maybe -- though it seems even more likely that there's something about English tabloids that helps these stories find an eager public.

類似遭遇曝光的還有一個名叫喬納森·麥高文的英國男人。在過去的30年中，他所吃的肉類食物只有一種：被車撞死的各種動物。BBC電視臺甚至以這些極度挑剔的飲食者爲話題，拍攝過一系列紀實題材的片子。難道說英國的飲用水裏有某種元素，會讓喝這些水長大的人們患上“選擇性飲食失調”嗎？也許吧，不過元兇更有可能是英國的小報，正是它們爲這些稀奇古怪的故事找到了渴望獵奇的受衆。
