“Kingdomwide call for vitamin fortified chips!”
Would’ve been a better title.
Sure, that's his story. Check for the girly magazines under his mattress.
LOW CARB / KETO PING!!!
I read a number of stories about these types of cases yesterday, usually due to Vitamin A deficiency. What caught my attention is that these people ate virtually no fat, and often not much protein. In at least some of the cases (maybe all), it was an eating disorder that was not dealt with. With cases like these, you don’t coddle the kids (regardless of what Dr. Spock says) and you force-feed them, if necessary...and if the parents are vegan types, they also need help in cases like this, because the kid needs to eat right!
So their diets were dominated by carbs, and the results were terrible (in one case, the loss of both eyesight and hearing). That person did eat some chicken, but chicken is low in fat and it didn’t provide the Vitamin A needed. Some cheese, butter, nuts, and/or red meat, and he’d still have a normal life.

So it wasn’t the carbs directly destroying their lives, but the carbs allowed them to eat, but only getting empty calories.
Here’s one more...just shows that we do have to be careful, as was discussed yesterday - keeping the carbs very low is great, but keep protein amounts under control too!
If you follow my bumper sticker diet you'll be fine...
Probably a single parent situation, where the parent overcompensates for lack of a two parent household by being lenient.
Some children learn very early how to manipulate that self imposed parental guilt. “If YOU hadn’t driven my Dad away, he would be here to take me to football games!”
but eating wasn’t all he was doing if my mother was right...
he should have stopped when he needed glasses.
Nobody could have seen this coming.
In my younger days, I couldn’t stand to eat mashed potatoes. They would make my stomach contract as if I was about to vomit (but I never did). And yes, it was their texture that did it. I still hate them to this day, but there’s no one forcing me to eat them.
a.k.a "not enough beer"
I bet there were other factors involved (I only did it until I needed glasses...)
Well at least he didn’t go blind pulling his put

If crisps are chips, and if chips are fries, then fries must be crisps.
You cannot fix stupid. Next to our life, our eyes are our most precious gift. I just cannot feel sorry for this person. I doubt if going blind occurred in some instant overnight episode, but rather gradually over time where this creep should have caught on and started following the doc’s orders.
And he went to the doctor at age 14 for the initial diagnosis? What about parent or guardian control? Didn’t his lack of eyesight show up in school? What about school authorities? There’s just too much wrong here.
He only gets the Honorable Mention in the Darwin Awards.
Stupid is as stupid does...
Lot more vitamins.
it’s called child abuse.
