This Indian villager is addicted to eating bricks, gravel and mud, stomaching at least three kilos of his surroundings every day. Pakkirappa Hunagundi, 30, first developed a taste for the seemingly inedible objects at the age of ten. 印度村民Pakkirappa Hunagundi对吃砖头、碎石和泥土上瘾，每天都要进食周围3公斤砖土。Hunagundi今年30岁，他在10岁的时候发现自己喜欢吃那些砖头这种看上去无法食用的东西。 Ever since, he has snacked on walls and streets of Karnataka, India - and claims to suffer no ill effects. The bizarre eating disorder is thought to be a form of Pica, an illness which gives sufferers an appetite for substances without any nutritional value. 他住在印度卡纳塔克邦。自从那时，他就在啃食墙面和街道上的砖土，并称自己的身体没有不良反应。这种特异的饮食习惯属于一种异食癖，患病者喜食无营养价值的东西。 Sporting a full set of normal-looking teeth, Mr Hunagundi blasts any suggestion he should curbthe addiction. He said: 'I have been eating bricks and rocks for around 20 years now. I love eating them. It has become a part of my life. Hunagundi的牙齿看上去和正常人别无二致，但无论谁劝他别再吃砖他都不听。他说：“到现在我已经过吃砖20年了，我喜欢吃砖，这已经成为我生活的一部分了。” '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.' |
