A woman in the U.K. was secretly gorging on baby powder for 10 years before her ex-partner discovered the bizarre habit, which she is now seeking professional help for. Lisa Anderson, who said she has depression and anxiety and has been told she may be suffering from pica.
Pica is an eating disorder that involves eating items not typically considered food and that have no nutritional value. Symptoms include persistent eating of these types of substances, which can include dirt, hair, metal, pebbles, ash, clay and others.
Personally, I think she ate London. I've known people who eat fingernails and, well, that stuff in the nostrils but baby powder? I sort of wonder why a person would go public with this unless they're looking for a Go Fund Me page.
