Teen Collapses After Eating Chicken Nuggets Entire Life - Parents or society to blame?

Teen Collapses After Eating Chicken Nuggets Entire Life
A British teen has taken her single food addiction to a whole new level. Ever since she was 2-years-old, Stacey Irvine has eaten almost nothing but chicken nuggets. Now, at 17-years-old, the British native had to be taken to the hospital last week when she collapsed after struggling to breathe. Doctors found her 15-year chicken nugget diet had left her with anemia and inflamed veins on her tongue. She had to be injected with vitamins and nutrients. Irvine admitted that she has never eaten fruits or vegetables. “I loved [nuggets] so much they were all I would eat,” Irvine said. “I just couldn’t face even trying other foods. Mom gave up giving me anything else years ago.” Her mother wants her to see a specialist. She said, “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.” The only variation in Stacey’s diet apart from chicken nuggets and fries is the occasional slice of toast for breakfast – and potato chips.
