Rolling in the Unconventional: Meet the Woman Who Eats Toilet Paper For Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
From the usual suspects like cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, and chocolate, a rather uncommon addiction has taken the spotlight globally.
Enter Kinah Moore, the woman who’s been making waves for her unusual penchant for indulging in something unexpected: eating toilet paper.
A Bizarre Craving Unveiled: Meet Woman Who Eats Toilet Paper
Kinah Moore is the name behind the headlines, and she’s confessed to consuming nearly two entire rolls of toilet paper on a daily basis, sometimes even pushing that count to four.
Taking centre stage on a recent episode of This Morning, Kinah delved into her paper consumption habits. She shared,
“I get my thousand sheets and sometimes I look up and I’ll be two or three rolls in and that’s from eight o’clock until seven pm and I’m just munching. It can get pretty obsessive.”
Unravelling Kinah Moore’s Unconventional Appetite
Kinah also opened up about her struggle with Pica, an eating disorder that leads individuals to consume items with no nutritional value, such as plastic, paper, or soap.
“It began when I was about eight years old. It started off with things like baking soda or like baking powder and then one day, I don’t know what possessed me to try toilet paper, but I tried toilet paper, and it was just my thing. I just knew it was my thing. There was something about the texture. You know like, the baking soda dissolved too fast, baking powder was too fizzy, and the toilet paper’s just like… it sticks. I don’t know. I can’t explain it. It just stuck with me,” Kinah told This Morning.
She continued,
“I believe it was a craving because I used to crave a bunch of different things. My great grandmother actually used to eat flour. So… I dunno. It was just a craving that I had and everything else dissolved too fast but the toilet paper was like, the cotton candy that doesn’t melt. It was like perfect.”
Kinah also revealed that her sister and mother share a taste for odd “delicacies,” but her case is the most pronounced. She even asserted that her health remains unaffected and encouraged others to “give it a try,” insisting that it’s surprisingly tasty.
Health Alert: The Dangers Lurking Behind Toilet Paper Consumption
While Kinah is confident about her well-being, the show’s medical expert, Dr Sara, issued a warning against chomping on toilet paper. She explained,
“In terms of toilet paper and paper, that’s known as xylophagia, and the problem with toilet paper is that it’s not easily digested by our bodies and can cause blockages in our digestive tracts, it can lead to stomach pains, blood in your stool, vomiting, constipation, and in severe cases it can even require surgical intervention.”
Despite Dr Sara’s strong caution, the hosts amusingly returned to Kinah, commenting on how healthy she appeared.
Just in case you were still wondering, it’s safe to conclude: toilet paper should definitely not be on your menu.
