Picky eater goes blind

Post by Sean Hayden » Tue Sep 03, 2019 1:48 pm

Teenager 'blind' from living off crisps and chips
The adolescent, who cannot be named, had seen his GP at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency and put on supplements, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.

Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss, Annals of Internal Medicine journal reports.

--naturally it's been given a name:
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a new diagnosis in the DSM-5, and was previously referred to as “Selective Eating Disorder.” ARFID is similar to anorexia in that both disorders involve limitations in the amount and/or types of food consumed, but unlike anorexia, ARFID does not involve any distress about body shape or size, or fears of fatness.
It's a bizarre world folks.

I blame his parents for not forcing him to eat his Brussel sprouts.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Wanking doesn't cause blindness anymore since the free porn videos in the internet are available in HD.

He should have been eating vegemite on toast. That would have saved him.

Probably would have, TBH. Vegemite and Marmite are Miracle Superfoods. Add acai berries and you'll live forever.
