17 yr old girl eats mainly chicken nuggets since age 2, collapses

By Julian Gavaghan

A teenage girl who has eaten almost nothing else apart from chicken nuggets for 15 years has been warned by doctors that the junk food is killing her.

Stacey Irvine, 17, has been hooked on the treats since her mother bought her some at a McDonald’s restaurant when she was two.

Shocked doctors learned of her habit when the factory worker, from Castle Vale, Birmingham, collapsed and was taken to hospital after struggling to breathe.

But, despite being warned that she could die if she sticks to her nugget addiction, she still can’t resist the fast food.

Miss Irvine, who prefers McDonald’s treats but also enjoys KFC’s, told The Sun: ‘I am starting to realise this is really bad for me.’

But the craving is taking a toll on her health. A lack of vital vitamins and other nutrients - combined with a dangerous amount of salt - can raise blood pressure and weaken the immune system.

It can also lead to an increased risk of heart attacks or strokes, particularly as Miss Irvine gets older.

Her exasperated mother Evonne Irvine, 39, who is battling to get her daughter seen by a specialist, told the newspaper: ‘It breaks my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets.'

‘She's been told in no uncertain terms that she'll die if she carries on like this. But she says she can't eat anything else.’

She once tried starving her daughter in a bid to get her to eat more nutritious food – but did not have any success.

Miss Irvine, whose only other variation in her diet is the occasional slice of toast for breakfast and crisps, said that once she tried nuggets she ‘loved them so much they were all I would eat’.

Wow. Just wow. I am at a loss for words. Who would've thought that only eating a diet of predominately chicken nuggets and fries would be detrimental to ones' health?

 

Did you ever see the documentary Fathead? It made me think a lot less of this movie.
