For those saying, well Ultra-Orthodox has a different diet ... yes, we wrote that previously, BUT THIS STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THEY EAT MEAT! Plus do all really follow such bullshit food ideas? ...
The ultra-orthodox approach to life highlights the importance of self-control and adherence to Kashrut (for instance, not mixing dairy and meat in the same meal).
This agrees with another study (Shatenstein et al., 1993) which showed that the usual Lubavitch family intake patterns often omitted foods from the protein group (in some cases reflecting semi-vegetarian food habits, although only on week-days), but comprised more meat overall than their Outremont counterparts, whereas the Outremont families ate eggs and poultry more frequently than the Lubavitchers.
Haredim (or ultra-Orthodox Jews, literally “those who tremble before G-d”) are characterized by a deep respect for religious law and tradition. Beyond this uniting factor, however, the Haredi world is markedly heterogeneous, comprising dozens of subgroups, each with its own distinctive customs, worldviews and theological beliefs (Greenberg 1991; Paradis et al. 1996; Wikler 2001; Witztum and Goodman 1999).
Men’s education therefore does not prepare them for employment in the labor market, and women have low rates of employment because of high birth rates (Regev 2013). As a result, fully 45% of Israeli Haredi families fall under the poverty line (Cahaner et al. 2017).
In 2013, 70% had per capita income in the lowest tertile, as opposed to 16% of the non-Haredi Jewish population (The Central Bureau of Statistics 2013).
Television, films, the secular press and Internet use for nonbusiness purposes are strictly forbidden, and smartphones with censored “kosher” Internet use are allowed in some, but not all ultra-Orthodox communities.
Epidemiological and other research on psychopathology in Haredi settings is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to conduct!!!! We therefore know very little about mental health in general and about EDs in particular in strictly Haredi communities.
