A teenage girl who has eaten almost nothing else apart from chicken nuggets for 15 years has been warned by doctors that the junk food is killing her.

Stacey Irvine, 17, has been hooked on the treats since her mother bought her some at a McDonald’s restaurant when she was two.

Shocked doctors learned of her habit when the factory worker, from Castle Vale, Birmingham, collapsed and was taken to hospital after struggling to breathe.

1. nearly nothing but (high-fat) nuggets for the past 15 years (since age 2)?

So, how big was the freight hauler which took her to the hospital?

 
6. Just which part of the chicken is the nugget?

It's the part that the rooster forfeits for the benefit of Makco's menu, thus turning "him" into a "chicken".

 
5. the factory worker, from Castle Vale, Birmingham, collapsed

I wonder how long she's been working at the factory and what it is that's manufactured there. Her problem might not be Macko's after all.
