Chicken Nugget Diet

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?

the mother has failed as a parent

the mother has failed as a parent

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???

Not gonna lie; I read that article and got a craving so I will be getting chicken nuggets for dinner tonight. :blushing:

"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.

Agree!!

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

I agree there! but the mothert should have checked in on this sooner. not waited 15 years after her daughter collapses

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

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.

"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.

I watched a show about a lady in a similar situation a little while ago. She ONLY ate french fries. They had to be deep fried and cooked perfectly. If she tried any other kind of food, she'd gag and have anxiety. Turned out that she had some kind of rare genetic thing that explained it all. It was very difficult for her, but she was able to incorporate a few more foods into her diet that she could TOLERATE...ie. they didn't make her throw them back up. Sooo this kid could have a similar issue. OR it could be the result of bad parenting decisions. Either way..genetic condition or not, she needs help.

Yes..parent failed..I have 6 kids and if they don't eat what is prepared they dont eat..believe me in a few hours they want that healthy dinner. A child does not know what is best for them, they have to be taught. Little kids don't buy crap food, ****ty music, or slutty clothes, their parents do..so yes, the blame lies solely on the parents. To doubt that is part of the reason our society is jacked up today versus 60 years ago.

from the article:

Stacey, who is recovering at home on a high-dose course of vitamins, has been hooked on chicken nuggets since her mother let her try them in a McDonald’s restaurant at the age of two.
‘I loved them so much they were all I would eat,’ she said. ‘I just couldn’t face even trying other foods. Mum gave up giving me anything else years ago.’

the daughter says her mother gave up years ago. mother allowed this to go on for 15 yrs. if the daughter hadn't collapsed I bet it would still be going on. I disagree. the mother is to blame. she should NOT have waited this long.

Oh please. The mother gave in to a couple tantrums when a TWO YEAR OLD wanted chicken nuggets EVERY day. She took the easy way (a COP OUT) by ALLOWING her child to only eat chicken nuggets. SHE is the parent. She should have acted like it. Unless you're suggesting that a two year old should know better....

Agree, and you don't wait 15 years. This should have been something the parents talked to the dr about when the child was 2, 3 years old.. Not 17.

Yes, this is very true! My son wouldn't eat them but he is VERY limited on what foods he will eat.
