It's an eating disorder where the person eats crazy, dangerous shit like detergent, chalk, paper, baby powder, poopy caca. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(disorder)
I've never really known anyone personally who does this, but i remember hearing about this one girl that would drink liquid detergent.
People are bonkers.

There is a homeless guy who wanders around the town who drinks bleach. He also shoves newspaper up his nose to stop his nosebleeds as well as wearing big rubber boots.

You guys are all victims of staged reality tv, She doesnt ever swallow any of the cushion. Eating detergent would probably end up killing you.

Look at the way she "eats" the couch cushion, and all you have to do is look up the chemicals in detergent to see theres some nasty ingredients in it. I said it might kill her, but she would definitely be a little more then just ill from eating detergent compulsively. I dont think that shits for real.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that many of the cases on that show are either exaggerated or just flat out fiction. It is Cable television after all... but Pica is a very real disease, and there really are people that are compelled to eat strange things =P

The eating comet since she was 12 one reeks of bullshit cable Tv in general reeks of bullshit. I aint doubting the disease though, people do some fucked up things compulsively.

I would imagine it's similar to doing a bunch of dirty meth. That shit's pure chemicals and you don't see people suddenly droppng dead from it. Think about that why dontcha.

I gnaw on q-tips sometimes, not the cotton tips but the middle cardboard stick...its definitely a small compulsion. I nibble bits of it off then mash it with my teeth...its a weird, 'clean' feeling. I don't know how to describe it really, its the texture that gets me.
Its like nitrous...I can go for weeks or months without even thinking about it, but once I start, I keep gnawing.
