    It may seem like a joke but I had a sorority sister that ate nothing but Chicken Fingers(had to be Tyson) French Fries(must be Orida Crinkle cut or she freaked) Pizza and Desert.

    Never once did I see her eat fruit, veggies or anything with actual substance.... made me sick to see her eat because I was like do you realize what you are doing to your body?

    Do you really think that's it? Do you think that there is a possibilty that the kid would refuse to eat anything and that a worried parent just gave in?

    I think the bashing on parents can be very harsh sometimes. No one is perfect and 90% of parents do the best they can with what they have. Yes, crappy parents exist. But because the girl eats chicken nuggets, her mother failed???

    Chicken nuggets have a surprisingly low amount of protein for being "meat".

    What! Come on now. Lots of kids would happily live on a diet of Mcnuggets if ALLOWED. Eventually the child would have eaten something else, if not this would be happening everywhere. At the age this started at, yes it was definetly the mothers fault. Worried parent equals giving in to your kid eating s*** food for their entire youth? Yes she failed, intentionally or not, she failed.

    abother link that goes a little more in depth
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2092071/Stacey-Irvine-17-collapses-eating-McDonalds-chicken-nuggets-age-2.html

    "Doctors found that her 15-year ‘chronic chicken nugget addiction’ has left her with anaemia and inflamed veins on her tongue.
    So deficient was her body in vitamins and nutrients that she had to be injected with them. "


    15 years. the mother allowed her to eat this and only this from the age 2 and on. for 15 years. yes in my eyes the parent has failed.

    FYI, a lot of autistic children do things like this so be careful who you insult.

    I have worked with many Autistic children in my career, and while many of them may like the comfort of the similarity, it doesn't make it ok when it involves something detrimental to their health. If there was any mention about the girl in the article being Autistic I may have worded what I wrote differently, but since there wasn't I still feel the same and I don't think how I feel is offensive.

    Hmmm.............. Okay. So some people don't have the education or the common sense to know what is bad and what isn't and that makes them horrible parents..........

    Okay........ I was just asking

    I'm more creeped out that the mother thought it was okay to feed a 2 year old fast food. WTF?

    Give me a break. I am sorry we can agree to disagree because chicken nuggets or not, eating basically 1 thing for years isnt healthy and everyone knows that.

    Yeah my brothers are both autistic & pretty fussy about what they eat.
    My youngest brother had this thing where he'd only ever eat the middle of his fries & leave the ends of them in a pile :|

    "Stacey’s mother, Evonne, is exasperated by her daughter’s refusal to eat a healthy and varied diet and wants her to see a specialist. ‘She’s been told in no uncertain terms that she will die if she carries on like this,’ the 39-year-old explained.
    ‘But Stacey says she can’t eat anything else. It breaks my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets. ‘I am at my wit’s end. I’m praying she can be helped before it’s too late.’

    The beauty therapist – who says her two other children Leo, five, and Ava, three, both eat healthily – has even tried depriving Stacey of food in a bid to get her to eat something other than nuggets."


    This sounds like a mother who has been trying her hardest to help her daughter. The doctors described it as a severe food addiction, I think placing all the blame on the mother is a cop out.

    This is very true! even down to the way the food is presented on the plate, and wether the ketchup is on the left or right side of the plate... etc...
