A Story for Your Children
Having troubles getting your children to eat properly. Try this story:
A lad who only ate chips, toast and baked beans was killed by his junk diet – aged just 20.
After years of unhealthy eating, Scott Martin's liver began to fail, he developed hepatitis and his blood would not clot.
Sixteen-stone Scott refused a life-saving liver transplant because he was too scared and was so weak he needed a wheelchair.
He finally bled to death after an op to remove three infected teeth.
His devastated family told yesterday how they had tried to get Scott to eat proper food since childhood.
His sister Gail Fairweather said: “Scott would never eat any fruit or vegetables. There were only a few things he would eat – McDonald's chips were his favourite.
He wouldn't eat anything else? Hmm, I tried that when I was a kid. It normally didn't work, though. My dad's belt was only a few feet away at all times.
