Article: Girl ate only chicken nuggets
Re: Article: Girl ate only chicken nuggets
I fully blame the mom for this. A 2 year old doesn't go to McDonalds and pick up chicken nuggets themselves.
My SIL has never eaten a fruit or a vegetable. She is 33. And I blame her parents as well.
I used to work with a guy who would only eat meat and potatoes. Never ate a single vegetable.
There's a TV show here in the UK that shows adults who are really picky eaters. There was one woman who only ate chips (french fries), and several people who would only eat pizza or bread. These people would literally have panic attacks at the thought of eating veggies (yet wonder why they are always tired....)
The show does a full health assessment on them and shows them how poor their nutrition is, then uses psychologists and nutritionists to rehabilitate their diets. I honestly think a lot of people don't realize that you need to eat a VARIETY of foods in order to get all of the nutrients you need to STAY ALIVE.
Ugh- I remember that UK show 'Picky Eaters' - I was completely fascinated by how someone who could ONLY eat chips or pizza every day for every meal for many, many years could possibly function. I was always amazed that these people weren't more sickly than they were. If I don't have a vegetable or fruit after a day or two- I can totally feel my body feeling sluggish.
Wow, really? That girl never wanted anything other than chicken nuggets her whole life? I get eating unhealthy, but that is extreme.
Obviously the parents are to blame, but didn't the girl have any interest in becoming healthy when she got a little older and realized how horrible her habits were? I mean, I had a mandatory health class when I was 14 that explained what healthy living is all about. I guess I just find this all pretty unbelievable.
