Remember when you were a kid and your parents always told you, “Eat your vegetables?” You went on to eat those vegetables even though you mumbled under your breath, or you ate a few of the veggies on your plate only to sneak your way to the garbage can and slide them off of your plate while your parents were not looking. Back in the day, you still ate fruits and vegetables whether you liked them or not.
In either case, you still have eaten a wide array of fruits and vegetables during your life because there never was an option to not eat fruits and vegetables. Well, here is the reason why your parents told you to eat your vegetables. A parent in the UK allowed for her child to only eat white bread, chips (french fries), crisps (potato chips), bangers (sausage links), and processed deli meat for his entire childhood.
He developed what is called nutritional optic neuropathy which caused the teenager to become legally blind from not eating fruits and vegetables. Therefore, when your parents told you to eat your carrots or you would go blind, then you really could have went blind.
Well, damn! Looks like I’am going blind
No you won’t – at least you use ketchup for fries. You showed that picture of the chili dog; at least the chili dog had beans. This kid has never eaten fruits and vegetables for his entire life.
Oh damn. No fruits or veggies. That is pretty damn sad
That is very sad, I think eating fresh vegetables is essential..
That is so true. Fruits and vegetables must be essential in the diet.
I know 2 people who did not liked fruit and vegetables and died early because they would not eat them
I read about this and was very sad indeed.
This incident is rather horrible. I didn’t include it in the post, but the teenager has decided not to change his diet even though he went blind.
I rarely travel by air so I rarely go to airports
Sorry, I am made mistake ? … A real comment. Young people really like the unhealthy diet. No one thinks of the consequences.
No child ever thinks of the consequences for eating junk food all of the time. Plus, people are less active now more than ever.
Although this comment is unrelated, I do not go to airports frequently either.
Goodness, I’ve never heard of this before. It’s a good job I eat my fruit and veg!
Yeah, I thought the whole thing with parents telling me about eating veggies was a farce, but they were really telling me the truth.
