Slowly dying of her McAddiction

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/slowly-dying-of-her-mcaddiction/story-e6freuy9-1226255710651

A TEENAGE girl who has eaten almost nothing else except chicken nuggets for 15 years has been warned by doctors the junk food is killing her.

Stacey Irvine, 17, has been hooked on the fast food since her mother bought her some at a McDonald's restaurant when she was two. Shocked doctors learned of her habit when the factory worker, from Birmingham, north of London, collapsed and was taken to hospital after struggling to breathe.

Ms Irvine, who has never eaten fruit or vegetables, had swollen veins in her tongue and was found to have anaemia.

I knew a guy once who would only eat 3 or 4 things: hot dogs, vanilla ice cream, cucumbers and something else. It was very strange, but he didn't look terribly unhealthy although he probably was.
