Only 9% of Belarusians eat as Europeans

Belarussians still spend the most part of the earnings for meal. But the diet of the average Belarussian is still poor and does not hold out up to European. There is not enough meat, milk, seafoods, vegetables and fruit. But eating of bread and a potato for a long time has exceeded acceptable norms.
According to the Republican center of hygiene and public health, half of Belarussians daily includes a potato in the menu. As a result it turns out more than 170 kg a year. There is hardly more than quarter of the population every day having meat and bird. Half of Belarussians eats a fish only some times in a month, and 17 percent in general doesn’t. Almost third of Belarussians cannot refuse the everyday use of sausage and bakery products in the big assortment.
Naturally, our food directly depends on money. According to data of Minstat, only 9 % of the Belarus families live at a level of the Western Europe. They also have balanced meal.
In general, from the medical point of view, in a diet of the average Belarussian there are few valuable products.
- Though we eat meat twice less, than, for example in Poland, it brings more truth about enzyte harm to us because instead of fowl, veal, we eat pork. Plus unlimited consumption of sweets and jam, - is spoken by the main expert of Ministry of Health on problems of meal, professor Valery Muroch.

Patriots from KGB told about Lukashenko health

The press-services of the president of Belarus and KGB (Committee of a state security) named provocation the anonymous e-mail widespread on evening of July, 10th and concerning state of health of Alexander Lukashenko.
Lukashenko is seriously sick, - authors of the letter approve. For anybody there’s no secret that after president elections Alexander Lukashenko was in a critical condition – he had an insult. Certainly, illness has been provoked by the numerous facts unpleasant for the president in pre-election Belarus.
At night March 19, doctors have recorded an insult by Lukashenko. His health began to worsen so, that among the nearest people thrill has begun - who will control the country in case of his death. Lukashenko stayed forty minutes in coma. Only due to efforts of doctors and constant post packages with modern effective medicines from Austria Lukashenko could feel well. For this reason inauguration of the president also was put off. He has sustained ceremonial with huge effort then again was gone for some weeks for full rehabilitation, - is spoken in the letter.
The second insult, according to authors, happened after unsuccessful secret negotiations with representatives of Russian Gazprom which were in a residence Drozdy in the middle of June. Now they try not to show him especially on TV, full rest is required to him. Lukashenko appears on screens not for a long time only to show electorate presence of the president, - it is spoken in the anonymous message.
Very few people have the true information on a state of health of the first person of Belarus now. Obviously with such diagnosis Lukashenko cannot hold a post of the president of the country, and especially a post of the commander-in-chief of the Belarus army, - authors of the letter emphasize. The situation with worsening of health of the president let people close to the president begin the intrigues, who can become his assignee, in case if Lukashenko health becomes critical. The president sees as the assignee only two people - older son Victor Lukashenko and the old reliable friend the head of administration Victor Sheiman.
The Belarus large and average business and also the top echelon of officials is aimed to support chairman of the House of Representatives of National assembly of Belarus Vladimir Konoplyov. The Russian oligarchs of gas and oil business see as the president prime minister Sergey Sidorsky who goes under patronage of the former head of administration of the president Ural Latypov.
But there are some influential Belarus groupings which study an opportunity of election woman. It can be an assistant to the head of Administration of president Natalia Petkevich. Authors of the letter also mark: - Lukashenko is not especially frightened with Alexander Milinkevich voyages across the Europe. He is disturbed more with movement of the certain influential Russian officials and businessmen for liberation Kozulin before of a forthcoming meeting G8 in St.-Petersburg in the middle of July. In Kozulin now the president sees the basic threat, the main contender and the irreconcilable enemy.
The chief of the Center of the information and public relations of KGB of Belarus Valery Nadtochaev, making comments on the letter under request BelaPAN declared:
- It is provocation. In information war which is now conducted, all means are good, therefore there are similar provocations.
In turn, the head of the press-service of president Pavel Legky has named the letter lie.
- We do not react to nonsense. It is not necessary to react to such things, because they are calculated on that: to create noise and to make pressure.
