How is this girl still alive?!
Question: How is this girl still alive!?
A 12-year-old girl has eaten almost nothing but chocolate all her life because she is so frightened of trying new foods!.
Rebecca Scowcroft, from Bolton, eats 15 squares of cooking chocolate and 10 chocolate fingers every morning while her family opt for a more conventional breakfast of toast, eggs and cereal!.
The schoolgirl, who is in perfectly good health, eats the same for lunch and Rice Krispies for dinner - but only if they are mixed in bowl of melted chocolate!.
Rebecca suffers from a condition known as extreme food phobia, which doctors estimate affects at least one child in every school in Britain!.
They say that sufferers react to new foods in the same way that a normal eater would to someone putting a sheep's eye in their sandwich and forcing them to eat it!.
No one is more fed up with the chocolate-only diet than Rachel, who says it is making it difficult for her to lead a normal life!.
"I don't just choose to eat that kind of stuff," she says in a forthcoming ITV1 documentary called My Child Won't Eat!. "It's not because I'm being awkward!. Whenever I try any food I always get scared!."
After years of trying to change their daughter's eating habits, Rebecca's parents enlisted the help of Dr Gillian Harris, a child psychologist who runs a feeding centre at Birmingham's children's hospital!.
Her pioneering techniques recently helped an eight-year-old girl who would only eat McDonald's because she thought anything else would poison her!.
Dr Harris says that parents of fussy eaters should not try to hide food, disguise it or play games with it!.
They should also not force children to try a new food but rather wait until they want to change their diet themselves!.
"Once you're into making carrots into funny shapes you've lost the plot," she says!. "You're prompting, encouraging but never forcing!."
With the help of Dr Harris, Rebecca has started to expand her diet and now eats small squares of toast for breakfast!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It depends!.!.!.!.!.she might be eating healthy chocolate, which has say a massive concentrate of natural cocoa in it!. Tribes in the Amazon & places like that are known to survive on only one food, such as cocoa or beans or herbs or whatever!. She could just be getting her nutrients from the Cocoa, although i do agree with you about the rest of her body, like her bones - no milk!?!?!? etc!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Several possibilities:
? Because we know so little about nutrition, still, maybe she's actually getting everything she needs (chocolate does contain carbs, fats, and proteins)
? She takes multivitamins
? She's so young that her lifestyle hasn't caught up with her yet
That is a weird story--I wonder what causes such extreme food phobia!? Most people are able to trust that their parents wouldn't try to poison them!.
My mom was of the "just try one bite" school of thought!. As an adult, I eat many more foods than she does!. The only things I can't stomach are green olives and green-bean casserole, although I don't think I'd go for a sheep's eye sandwich, either!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
