A kid went blind eating only processed food.

[2legs2wheels]

A teenager who only ate five different foods went blind despite having no visible signs he was malnourished, according to his doctor.

The unnamed boy visited his family doctor complaining he was tired, according to a case study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. The doctor learned the boy was a "fussy eater," but he looked well. Tests revealed he was anemic and had low levels of vitamin B12.

By the age of 15, his hearing and vision started to fade. An MRI scan revealed he had no structural problems with his ears, while an eye test similarly failed to reveal any structural cause.

I don't think there are any bad people in this story. It's just tragic.

The parents are bad people for allowing their child to have a diet that directly contributed to his losing sight and vision.

Wow. First world problems.
As a parent you have a responsibility to properly nourish your children.

I am a bit skeptical of the reporting.

Eating disorders are among the most difficult mental illnesses to treat. Sucks he didn’t get appropriate treatment in time.

Sounds like he did though. He can't see or hear what he's eating now. They can shove all the broccoli down his throat they want and tell him it's spiral cut fries.
