Utopia of rossetto people

In Bangor, Pennsylvania, there is a small town called rossetto. At the end of 19, it is a group of Italian towns, about100km from the capital Rome-rossetto? Built by Valfeitore settlement.

To outsiders, rossetto is a mysterious and magical place.

People here have little contact with the outside world, are self-sufficient and self-contained, forming a closed small world, shrouded in a mysterious veil.

Surprisingly, people in rossetto are generally healthy and behave appropriately. Even a doctor who has been practicing medicine 17 has treated patients all over the local area. He has hardly seen rossetto people under 65 suffering from heart disease.

There is no suicide, no drinking, no drug taking, and the crime rate is very low. At the same time, no one received relief money, and no one even suffered from gastric ulcer. Most people who live here died of natural causes.

In Alien, the physician Wolff called it Alien because it is beyond our daily experience.

To solve the mystery, Wolff invited a nutritionist to analyze the eating habits of rossetto people.

It is found that the usual diet of immigrants here is nothing special compared with that of local Americans.

They prefer to use lard instead of healthier olive oil when cooking, and 4 1% of their body calories come from fat in their diet. Referring to his previous living habits in his hometown of Italy, he didn't pay so much attention to healthy eating.

Here, people don't get up early to do yoga or jogging. On the contrary, they like smoking, and many people are obese.

Since people's health in rossetto has nothing to do with diet and exercise, researchers should not analyze it from the aspects of genes, geographical location and natural environment. But I still can't get the answer I want.

Finally, Wolff began to realize that the best health condition and social order and fashion of rossetto people probably lie in the social customs themselves.

Different from other places, when you walk in the streets of rossetto, you will find that people here are not in a hurry, ignoring each other and going their separate ways, but people who visit relatives and friends and occasionally stop to chat on the way can be seen everywhere.

They attended church mass, and three generations had dinner together. Women work in garment factories, while men work in quarries. Just like a picture of a quiet and harmonious life, I was deeply attracted for a long time and stopped in a hurry.

What's more commendable is that people here advocate equality and freedom, the rich don't flaunt themselves, the poor don't have to feel inferior, everyone lives comfortably, and the pressure is not great. The whole society is full of the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance, not the fierce competition between you and me.

As stated in the book, in the past knowledge and common sense, we generally attribute people's physical health to personal choices and behaviors, and believe that as long as we adhere to a reasonable and scientific diet, implement a self-disciplined fitness exercise plan and regular schedules, we can maintain a healthy body and a good state.

However, the health and longevity of rossetto people seems to give us another revelation: it is impossible to give a comprehensive and correct explanation of how people keep healthy by considering people's choices and behaviors in isolation.

The natural environment and social environment in which human beings live play an indelible role in human development. And we usually ignore this important factor.

Perhaps the society of rossetto people still belongs to the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy society, where there is no strong commercial atmosphere, no value standard of money first, no anxiety and fear; Perhaps the cultural knowledge and wealth of people there are far less than ours today, but the relationship between people there is the warmest and most touching.

This is the home of rossetto people and a utopia in our hearts.
