eating bricks!
The 30-year-old became hooked on devouring non-edible objects after
first developing the acquired taste when he was 10-years-old.
For 20 years he has consumed up to three kilos of debris a day,
including mud and gravel, he finds lying around his village in
Karnataka. But despite his strange eating disorder - thought to be
caused by a condition called Pica - Pakkirappa insists he hasn't
suffered any ill-effects. And he wants to use his strange eating
habits to make some money for his family by travelling across India
showcasing his talents.
MirrorUK reports that the oddball eater causally chews on freshly
baked bricks he finds scattered around his village. And he uses
nothing more than a glass of water to help digest the building
material which he says tastes "A1" - an Indian term meaning the best.
Fussy eater Pakkirappa said:
"I love eating them. It has become a part of my life. I started at the
age of 10. Now it feels like a necessity to me. I can skip meals, but
not bricks or mud. I have suffered no side effects. My teeth are
absolutely fine. I can bite into the hardest stone without a problem."
