But not just paper, paper is gross why would you eat that. The thick stuff. Nerds boxes, cracker boxes, clothes tags. Box making paper.
I heard the bleach is bad for you, so I try to avoid clothes tags (the plastic layer is hard to get off anyways) but...
Currently chewing the corner of the flap on a tissue box...
When I was younger, me and my friends had an obsession with eating paper. We would get a sheet of paper, rip strips off and then chew it. Sometimes, we swallowed it too. People thought we were crazy and so, did my parents. They told me that I could die, but I didn't believe it. We eventually stopped.
I don't know why we did it. Maybe we all had pica? I ate allot of inedible things not just paper. I used to eat grass, leaves, sand and ice. My diet is a bit more varied now and I don't have the urges to eat those things anymore. I once read in a book, that there was a king, either Mayan or Aztec, and he ate nothing but paper for years. He died and then they found out that his intestines were blocked with paper... It's not healthy and can be dangerous. Do you take vitamins?
Buy some rice paper, it won't harm your body like that stuff will.
But you're probably a troll, so why do i bother
It's not normal, but we have a guy at work who eats napkins. People have been mocking him and I feel a little bit bad for him, probably not helped by the fact that it means he doesn't feel the need to wipe his arse after going for a crap...
I tend to when I'm working tear off a piece of paper and chew it- not swallow, just chew.
It's called pica syndrome. Usually caused by lack of iron. Don't worry, your not the only one. I use to eat paper quite regularly but I'm attempting to stop... Again.
I would think this is kinda unhealthy cuz they might put chemicals in paper that harm humans
