She weighs less than 10st and wears a dress size ten. So it might be assumed a diet of fruit and vegetables play a part in Faye Campbell’s lifestyle. But she claims she hasn’t touched either for 16 years.
Indeed, the 21-year-old says she has been diagnosed with a fear of fruit and vegetables.
英國一名21歲女子 Faye Campbell，體重約60kg，穿英國尺碼10號的衣服，這樣中等的身材，你或許認為她的飲食生活應該跟一般人沒兩樣，不過事實上，她已有16年沒有碰蔬果類食物，是名「蔬果恐懼症」患者。
Faye Campbell 日常食物清單為起司漢堡、披薩和洋芋片等等，而她唯一能接受的水果竟是含糖氣泡飲料當中的調味果汁成分。儘管吃進肚裡的都是不健康的垃圾食物，她依然能保持172cm/60kg這樣中等的身材。

The care worker, who lives in Stowmarket, Suffolk, was an extremely fussy eater as a child. At her wits’ end, her mother Carolyn took her to the doctor after failed attempts to hide vegetables in her meals.
She was apparently diagnosed with the digestive disorder gastroesophageal reflux. The condition, which causes chronic indigestion and heartburn, meant she was left in agony after eating. But, although it was possible to cure this, doctors found she had developed lachanophobia – an extremely rare anxiety triggered by eating vegetables.
It is only after seeing a child psychologist that she started to eat foods such as pizza, burgers and cheese.
Faye Campbell 居住在英國東北部的薩福克小鎮(Suffolk)，從事護理工作。從小就嚴重挑食，母親曾將蔬菜隱藏在食物中，試圖使她吃下，但還是沒能成功，由於實在是束手無策，便帶她去醫院求診。結果證實她罹患了一種胃食道逆流疾病，造成她長期的消化不良，甚至胃灼熱。雖然這病在醫學上是有辦法治療的，不過醫生發現她的身體機制引發了相當罕見的「懼菜症」。於是求助兒童心理學家後，她開始接受披薩、漢堡和起司等食物。

Miss Campbell said: ‘The thought of eating vegetables or any sort of fruit just makes me feel physically sick. Even putting them near my mouth terrifies me.
