A 17 year old factory worker? Dickens' England still lives!

That part I find hard to believe. Didn't they move all manufacturing to eastern Europe or China?

Maybe they manufacture chicken nuggets for the local market.

A less serious consequence of her craving is that she is struggling to store all the free toys that come with the fast food meals, she added – they fill four bin bags.
I love this article.

I didn't know the Mail went in for the cancer stories.  I thought that was an Express speciality.

'I am starting to realise this is really bad for me,' she said. 'My main meal is always chicken nuggets every day. 

Ya think?!   :huh:


But I'm also in Camp Dubious on the veracity of this story.   :hmm:    Though I worked with a young woman, still in her teens I think, who would only eat cheeseburger/hamburger sandwiches for lunch, but I think she sometimes mixed that up with other stuff for dinner.

I was expecting waaaay fatter.
:huh: There's a guy named Don Gorske in Wisconsin or someplace like that who eats nothing but Big Macs for every meal including breakfast (he buys them the night before, refrigerates, and then microwaves them in the morning).  He's not fat.  He's been on the Big Mac diet since the early 1970s IIRC.

Stupid mother if true.

And I am rather amazed that she is quite OK looking and not a total beast.

It must indeed be balls.

According to the article there are two other kids in the family who both have normal diets.

She's only 17. She'll probably be a blimp at 25.

She's only 17? Then my lawyer wants me to retract the "she can eat my chicken nuggets" statement for one year.

Still on the mother. Unless depriving a 2 year-old of its favorite treat is food insecurity.
