For jaysus sake!

Why would anyone do that? What possible positive outcome could there be to this??

What hope can there be for the child if this is how he/she starts life?

Professional pearl-clutchers everywhere are getting off on this story.

She was from inner city Dublin. Judging by the number of semi-humna skangers one sees in that area nothing would surprise me.

I understand that some people have different views on what can be considered healthy, and some people are just not even remotely concerned with eating healthy.

I don't understand how you can put a burger and chips in a blender, and look at the mush created and go 'YUM! That looks amazing! Let me feed this to my developing child!'

What's with the quotation marks? Is there some doubt over whether the child is biologically hers???

Frank Lee Midere · 18-10-2013 10:48AM

The burger in its own would probably have been ok.

o noes

Blending it for a baby, a bit over the top yeah. But it may not be too much of an exaggeration. I've seen loads of people give all kinds of crap to kids, in huge quantities.

I think the main part of the problem from what I've seen, is giving in to what the kid wants though.

sok2005 · 18-10-2013 10:50AM

That is the scariest article I have ever read. The early years are so important, why abuse their little systems by giving them that muck. Shocking stuff.

And in several unconfirmed cases. Minute traces of chicken

Will it blend?

It will blend!

Love2love · 18-10-2013 10:51AM

I really doubt this one. Like a mother would walk to McD, get a happy meal, bring it home and blend it. Like why not walk to the Spar and buy spuds and a few carrots and blend them?

So a young mother from inner city Dublin owns a blender

i smell bullsh1t

I'm not of a sensitive constitution, but the thought of McDonald's fries, nuggets and a cheese burger being stuffed into a blender and pulverised into a gloppy paste, before being served to a fat child is an image that makes me slightly nauseous.

Howard Juneau · 18-10-2013 10:52AM

My own personal bugbear is toddlers drinking coka cola even mothers pouring it into their baby bottles & letting them drink it as if it was milk. Scary stuff

You would be surprised. A friend of mine lives in inner city Dublin and he has loads of kitchen gadgets.

Mostly scales mind you.

It's simply just because she didn't. A lot of people have bought into junk food and don't really consider anything else.

I've seen people pull kids across busy roads in town during traffic. You can also ask, "why not go to a crossing and wait for a green light?" It's just something they don't consider or see as an option.

She said a mother in Newry said her four-year-old had eaten three bowls of Cheerios, two yogurts, a banana, an apple and three slices of toast for breakfast that morning

Sounds to me like that kid wasn't fed in a long time and was starving

folan · 18-10-2013 10:59AM

if this was true, would it warrant a call to child services?

Is this like when American politicians say something like, "I met a plumber from x called José", when they have never met a plumber from x called José, but it seems plausible?

jimgoose · 18-10-2013 11:01AM

Better than blending the child and giving it to McDonald's.

joes girls · 18-10-2013 11:04AM

My god, just when you think you heard it all. Poor baby, and shame on anyone who would be doing this:mad:

You obviously havent seen the article about the Yeti.......

She only liquidized it so it would fit in the syringe.

I was shocked when I read this initially. But then it made me think a bit. I wouldn't think twice about a mother putting ribena in a bottle and giving it to their child but that has the same amount of sugar in it as coke.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying either are good things to be putting in a child's bottle. That much sugar isn't good for anyone. I just think it's amusing how one thing can seem totally fine and another thing that's very similar can seem horrific.

There's doubt over whether she's taking her responsibility seriously - I refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to think blending up a McDonalds and giving it to a baby is a particularly good idea

wuzziwig · 18-10-2013 11:30AM

Don't knock it until you've tried it. Nom nom.

Snako · 18-10-2013 11:31AM

The article actually omits to the fact that the baby spends 2 hours power lifting in the gym everyday.

Everybody is missing the point the baby actually needs more calories and protein.
