[quote=Anonymous]I have a 12 year old 7th grader DD.  For the last 6 months she has been coming home and asking for a raw onion.  She eats a WHOLE raw onion with salt or dipping it in vinaigrette or lemon and oil.  She's a good eater, she eats just about everything, including all her veggies. She has a small breakfast (scrambled egg, or an eggo waffle, or peanut butter toast, or something similar with a cup of milk), then she has a school lunch and I cook well balanced dinners.  She swims 4x a week for 1 1/2 hours, so she's very active.  Her weight is perfect for her height, she's slim, but athletically built.  Could her body be asking for a vitamin and that is why she's eating so many onions?  I like onions, we put them in sandwiches, and I chop an onion as the base for many of the diners I cook.  But eating a large onion raw, every day after school seems like a lot (and stinky).  I let her because it is a vegetable, and it can't hurt her to eat it, but I think it is strange.  Has anyone encountered anything like this?[/quote]
