17 and dying from a chicken nugget addiction… chicken nugget fanatic, Stacey Irvine has been eating practically nothing else since the age of two.

Horrified doctors learned of the teenager’s chronic 15-year addiction after she collapsed and was rushed to hospital struggling to breathe.

Factory worker Stacey, who has never touched greens or fruit, was found to have anaemia and swollen veins in her tongue.

Doctors there made it clear that she was going to die if she didn’t immediately add fruits and vegetables to her diet. “I am starting to realise this is really bad for me,” Irvine acknowledged.

Most people would probably blame the parents here.  But keep in mind… these people are of the same genetic makeup of a girl who was dumb enough to eat nothing but chicken nuggets for 15 years.

Yesterday she was recovering at home after being put on an urgent course of vitamins — which started in hospital with injections. But despite medics begging her to change her diet she still cannot get enough of chicken nuggets.

Nutritionist Dr Carina Norris said that, during her ten years of experience, she has not come across such an extreme case of food addiction. She believes Stacey’s diet will have serious long-term health implications, as her body will be lacking iron, calcium, antioxidants, vitamins and good fats.

‘She should view her health scare as a warning – a wake-up call that she needs to drastically change her diet.

Seriously, if mom and pops only introduced her to apples 15 years ago this all could have been avoided.
