She is 87 and has early signs of dementia. These foods are not bad but anything in excess is not good.

Those foods are all great for the human body.

At 87, let her eat what she wants to eat. There is not much more damage to be done, especially not by some plant based food. Especially if she has early signs of dementia, she's already started to lose so much, let her have what she wants.

Be happy her cravings aren’t for candy, cookies, cake, ice cream, chocolates, potatoes, rice, whole lobster, king crab legs, rib eye steak, caviar, champagne at every lunch and dinner. At least her cravings have lots of fiber, and healthy content! It could be a worse (and more expensive) set of cravings!

Oh my....if that is the only problem that you have with your "precious mom" who has dementia, please count your many blessings.
Everything you have listed is very healthy for your mom, so please don't try and make an issue out of something that clearly isn't, but instead be grateful that your mom even in her dementia is choosing to eat healthy.
And like others have said, at this point in your moms life she should be able to eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants if she enjoys it.

Why is this a problem? The only thing that would make it a problem is if she has diarrhea or incontinence of bowel. Just let her enjoy the foods she likes. Whatever makes her happy at this point is a good thing.

I was thinking the same thing, all these foods are great for the body especially cubumbers. Plenty of water and very low in calories. Really, can't get too much.
