Imagine employing a demolition worker who took waste materials as both payment and sustenance. The perfect demolition man, right?
Meet Indian builder Pakkirappa Hunagundi; a man who is addicted to 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 – he insists he hasn’t suffered any ill-effects.
