LONDON: She is all but 17 and is hooked on to chicken nuggets so much so that she has eaten almost nothing else since she was two years old. And the cost of Stacey Irvine's bizarre diet - she is now in hospital after she struggled to breathe and collapsed. "Stacey Irvine has been hooked on the treats 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 Castle Vale, Birmingham, collapsed and was taken to hospital after struggling to breathe," the Daily Mail reported. Irvine, who has never eaten fruit or vegetables, had swollen veins in her tongue and was found to have anaemia, the daily reported. The only thing that she eats other than nuggets are French fries. Medics gave her a series of injections and started her on an urgent course of vitamins.
But, despite being warned that she could die if she stuck to her nugget addiction, she still can't resist the fast food. Irvine, who prefers McDonald's treats but also enjoys KFC's, told the Sun, "I am starting to realize this is really bad for me".
Yet, despite a diet that regularly means she eats at least a third more than the 56g of fat recommended by experts, she manages to keep relatively trim. This may be down to the amount of exercise she does or her metabolism, the daily said. The issue of junk food has become a major concern among parents in India. Various schools have now taken steps to steer away the children from junk food. In many school canteens, junk food is not allowed.
