A 17 year old girl from Birmingham, United Kingdom has fallen ill after living off chicken nuggets alone since she was 2. Doctors have warned that her diet is killing her and she needs to introduce more nutritional foods into her culinary regime. The girl, who has recently become well known in the media for her unusual nutritional choices, was rushed to hospital after she collapsed and was struggling to breathe. Horrified Doctors learned of her chicken nugget fetish and have warned her about the health risks surrounding her diet.
The Factory worker who has never touched greens or any vegetable has anaemia and swollen veins in her tongue, her Mother is said to have battled with her from a young age about her diet but she refused to eat anything other than McDonalds or KFC chicken nuggets. It is reported that she is now aware of the health risks but is not set to alter her eating habits and is now seeking nutritional advice from a specialist to overcome her dietary faults.
This young woman is not over weight but her diet is very unhealthy, whilst there has been call to introduce a tax on unhealthy foods to limit obesity, officials should pay attention to stories such as this where adults may not be overweight but have a health risk die to their eating habits.Past reports have found that in 2008 28% of men and women from the UK were obese; medics say that if something is not done about the rise in unhealthy diets it could reach 46% by 2030, which could mean an extra 11 million people penned as being ‘obese’ in the next 20 years. This would put an additional strain on the NHS and the Government is concerned about this though will not introduce any formal rules as they don’t want to be perceived negatively. It is thought that by 2050 the obesity costs would be £32 billion a year which is almost a third of the current NHS budget.
At present there is no VAT on any food though an introduction of the tax could be on the cards in the near future though in a time when we are facing pay cuts is it fair to charge more for food that is affordable. A healthy diet for many families is out of the question simply due to budget, fresh produce costs a lot more than frozen goods from Iceland and Tesco.
Denmark currently has a fat tax on butter, milk, cheese, pizza, meat, oil and any processed food that contains more than 2.3% saturated fat. These may be perceived as unhealthy but are a staple and affordable part of many household diets, by increasing the costs of these currently affordable foods many families could face further money worries.
What is a healthy diet in this day and age? Food prices are changing all the time and we have to eat what we can afford, all we can really rely on is a healthy dose of online bingo into our diets. That is certain to make things a little tastier; you never know we could win one of the jackpots and buy some yummy food that will make us feel great.
