> She boasted of eating no salt, oil or protein Salt and protein at least are necessary for a human body to function. It’s possible to get enough salt without adding extra, but salt is only bad if you have too much.

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I can’t even imagine having to watch my child slowly kill themselves. She said she tried to talk sense into her daughter but there was nothing she could do. Her daughter probably needed serious intervention, for both physical and mental health. And now she is dealing with people posting awful things about her dead daughter. She’s in Russia, her daughter died in SE Asia, and she’s fighting to get her body back home to bury her. It’s so tragic. ---

The Chilcoat couple appeared via telephone as they were at the hospital to be with a family member. The defense counsel and the government were present via video conference. > > Attorneys for the government reportedly expressed interest in setting a trial date for the couple but defense attorneys said that given the Chilcoats’ various family health issues, they did not want to set a trial date at this time. > > The court set a status hearing for Sept. 5. Sorry, folks. Your hero’s headed to jail, too. You’re not getting an executive pardon. Take the deal. ---
