Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Believe it or not, 15-year old Faye Campbell of Great Britain has eaten nothing but french fries ("chips" to the Brits) for the past ten years.
According to an article in the Daily Mail, Campbell suffers from a "bizarre physical condition which made her ill every time she tried anything other than chips."
This "bizarre" condition? Gastrooesophageal reflux...commonly known as heartburn.
For whatever reason, it took the girl's doctors way too long to realize the cause, and in the meantime, pardon me for being slightly insensitive, but she's been milking it for all it's worth.
I don't doubt that salty potatoes are easier to digest than, say, acidic fruits or juices. But how I'm impressed with how long this girl has convinced her parents to let her eat fries at every meal - every kid should be so lucky! And conveniently, french fries go down easier than say, Brussels sprouts or bananas...
The good news? To her parents' delight, Campbell has now moved onto foods other than french fries. Her diet now also consists of burgers, noodles, Chinese takeout, and waffles. (Don't you wish you had this girl's parents when you were 15?)

Once in a while she would eat a can of spaghetti but only canned pasta. Nothing green (including lettuce, onions) or any form of vegetable other than potato. No fruit other than OJ.
According to her and her mom, she just didn't "like" anything else and that's all she ever would eat since small. That and gum, which she would swallow when finished.
I admit I used to wonder whether she used laxatives or what--it was that bad.

2-13-2008 @11:51AM beanspants said... i also have a friend who only eats:
french fries
peanut butter and crackers
cheese pizza
dr pepper or gatorade or water
nachos chips
and that is it. he takes vitamin supplements for the missing nutrients, and says he has hated food since he was born. something about the consistency bothers him.

2-14-2008 @2:33PM w said... I have a really hard time believing anybody could eat ONLY french fries for ten years and not die of malnutrition. Wouldn't she get DISGUSTED with fries after eating nothing but them day after day, year after year? And what's wrong with her parents that they allowed their FIVE YEAR OLD to only eat fries for TEN YEARS?? Isn't that some kind of child abuse?

this chick must be the weirdest and most unhealthy person i've ever heard of, and believe me, i've met very weird people and some that eat so much crap food in a day they could start leaking that nasty grease that comes out of food from mcdonalds and burger king. her doctors must have been so oblivious to not notice what was going on.

You eat what you are given or have nothing. You will eat when you get hungery enough...and they did...they learned to eat a well balanced diet.
