It's not that chicken nuggets are "unhealthy". If you only ate grade-A, organic, Jesus-blessed tofu for every meal you'd be in trouble too. You need a balanced diet with carbohydrates, protein, fats, and of course vitamins and minerals.
"Unhealth" isn't a thing. There isn't some magic, toxic substance in fast food for f**k's sake. It's not the *presence* of something in her diet, it's clearly the *absence* of entire food groups. This is not a case of fast food being evil, but a clear case of an overly restrictive diet not providing all required nutrients.
You do get that her problem isn't that she's been eating nuggets for 15 years right? Her problem is that she hasn't been eating a well BALANCED diet. Just like cutting out all meat from the human diet results in serious health issues the same is true when you cut out all veggies from your diet. She hasn't been supplementing the lack of veggies with vitamins. THAT is why she is sick.
And I feel guilty if I eat fast food 2 days in a row :). And
From the site (Mum Evonne, 39, is battling to get her seen by a specialist.
She said: "I'm at my wit's end. I'm praying she can be helped before it's too late.
"It breaks my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets.)
Well if someone would not start feeding that poor child chicken nuggets at the age of 2 there wouldn't have been a problem now would it? Who feeds a two year old with only chicken nuggets? Waiting for 15 years to "battle to see a specialist" is another pearl - didn't she see the signals before?
On the contrary - she ate this food for 15 years and it did not damage her health as one would expect. Damage was done because she did not have a balanced diet. ;)
lol yep, there's the evidence that it's perfectly healthy - solely because she, despite anemia and obvious psychological problems and swollen veins at 15, is alive.
Sorry, but the mum did NOT try that in earnest. The mum just kept the kid quiet by feeding it chicken nuggets. In this type of situation, the parents are ALWAYS at fault.
The meat (a loose term) for nuggets is rendered from bone leftovers after the prime meat is removed by the sheer force of spinning scraps. This slurry is then bound together with gelatine like products.
Breast nuggets isn't differentiating from say leg derived meat. It's the difference between whole meat and meat recovered from scrap. It's the human consumption equivalent of "blood and bone."
Anyone so fixated for so many years on a single food item has a lot bigger problem than a simple eating disorder. She's going to need a LOT of help and not the kind available from Ronald McDonald or Col. Sanders.
Exactly. Why the hell was her mother continually buying nuggets in the first place? If she wanted her daughter to stop eating them she should have just banned them from the house and not gone to any fast food places.

She is definitely waaaaay cuter than the person I pictured after reading the title.

Lock the parents up and throw away the keys for being such irresponsible human beings in the first place.

Wait a couple days and that kid will eat anything available.

The title is wrong. It should read, Mom only fed girl McDonald's chicken nuggets, should be in jail for ineffective parenting.
