Meet the Indian man hoping to
find fame and fortune by showcasing his unusual appetite for eating
bricks. Pakkirappa Hunagundi suffers from a rare eating disorder
and says he is addicted to eating only bricks, gravel and mud. ‘I only
like mud and bricks, nothing else,’ he told Barcroft TV. ‘I will eat it
because it is my habit. I need it every day. I can’t stop. ‘My mother
asks me not to eat it, but I won’t stop. Even if you give me fried
chicken, I want mud at any cost.’ “I love eating them. It has become a
part of my life. 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.” The 30-year-old has been eating bricks since the age of
ten. He now eats up to one brick a day and three kilos of mud and gravel
to fulfill his craving. It is believed he suffers from a condition
known as Pica, the persistent eating of non-food items with no
nutritional value. ‘We find it extremely strange,’ said one local. Mr
Hunagundi has ignored pleas from friends and family to change his diet
and now plans to travel across India to show off his brick-eating
abilities. He says he hasn’t suffered any ill-effects from his unusual
diet. 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.
