Question

Is it odd that I like to eat cardboard?

Answer 1

I noticed this question was in the Vegetarian section. I think you should really consider expanding your diet bro.

Answer 2

yes there is no nutritional value bro gotta get ur breads

Answer 3

whatever floats your boat.

Answer 4

Ya ,very, but if u enjoy it, it shud'nt matter..

Da only problem is dat it is not very good for ur health :)

Answer 5

I hope that is sustainably sourced, recycled, naturally dyed, carbon offsetted, fair trade, organic cardboard. Try some vegannaise with that cardboard to add flavor add a side salad and your set LOL =D

Answer 6

Yes, it is pretty odd... At least you get plenty fibre:)

Go see a mental health expert... and keep away from me

Answer 7

Not to me.

I used to love eating cardboard and paper, but I grew out of it thankfully.

I am a very fussy eater, so perhaps it was related to a nutritional imbalance, or maybe I was bored, or perhaps it was just in the right place at the right time!   lol

Answer 8

I tend to think broken glass tastes better.

Answer 9

no, of course it isn't. Don't you see everyone eating cardboard?

=D

Answer 10

It is a bit odd considering paper and cardboard are made from cellulose, which is the thick cell wall of plant cells. It's very hard to digest and doesn't have any nutritional value, so I wouldn't suggest eating it.

Answer 11

ew, sorry yes.

Answer 12

When someone eats inedible items, the condition they have is called pica. One theory is that your body is craving some kind of mineral or such. It may be considered a chemical imbalance in the brain. See a mental health professional.

Answer 13

very... but whatever floats your fancy...

Answer 14

very much so

Answer 15

Yes.

Answer 16

LOL It's interesting, but who am I to judge about what's odd and what's not. I do know that it can lead to digestive problems, such as constipation or spread of bacteria, which was on the cardboard. If you don't mind these side effects, then keep chewing.

Answer 17

No, it's not odd. It happens quite often, mostly among children. The reason is always a food deficiency, which can be vitamins, or other important elements that the body does not receive enough of.

Since you put your question in "Vegetarian & Vegan" I suspect that you do not eat right. If you do not want to give up this unhealthy life style, you'll get more and more serious problems.

At least consult with a dietitian to see if and how you can compensate for the things you do not get, but that your body needs.

Answer 18

yep

you might get worms lol

and it doesn't taste to good

*takes a bite*

i just sampled some to check.

if you like chewy stuff try oats/cereal bars at least they'll give some good safe nutrition.

Answer 19

Unusual - but as long as you're enjoying it and not overdosing on it, and confining yourself to clean cardboard only, it shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 20

no cuz thats just completely normal right??

Answer 21

Yes its odd. it can also ruin your body. its a tough & rough object going through your system and the layers are not easily digested. im a vegetarian too and i dont do that. well like they say "whatever floats your boat.." or in this case id say Whatever floats your throat. ;D
