A teen who has eaten almost nothing except chicken nuggets for 15 years could die if she doesn’t change her diet. Stacey Irvine, 17, from Birmingham in England recently collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital. Doctors told her she has anaemia and inflamed veins on her tongue, caused by her unhealthy eating habits.
Stacey says she became addicted to nuggets when she tried them for the first time at age two. "I loved them so much that they were all I would eat. I just couldn’t face even trying other foods. Mum gave up giving me anything else years ago. I am starting to realize this is really bad for me. My main meal is always chicken nuggets every day."
The teen is on a high dose of vitamins and has to change her diet. But her mother isn’t sure this is going to happen. "She’s been told in no uncertain terms that she will die if she carries on like this. But Stacey says she can’t eat anything else. It breaks my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets. I’m praying she can be helped before it’s too late."

If she really had nothing but chicken nuggets for 15 years it is quite a miracle that she didn't collaps a lot earlier, plus I can't imagine how she could grow up to being a normal teen that way. I've heard of a kid who became disabled because of only being given vegan food as a toddler and I'd say only eating meat is just as one-sided and dangerous for little children, no, even a lot worse, because as a vegan there are still various ways to make your food diversified.
I can't understand that way of eating! I think this girl has to be very big(sorry for the bad word), and I wouldn't feel good with eating the same food all the time...
