UK mother eats roll of toilet paper every day and just ‘can’t quit’

A UK mother of five has opened up about her bizarre food fetish — eating a roll of toilet paper every day.

Jade Sylvester.toilet.paperJade Sylvester, from England, knocks back at least eight pieces of toilet tissue every time she goes into the loo and says she just “can’t quit” the roll, according to The Huffington Post.

The 25 year old said her taste for toilet tissue started when she was pregnant and suspects it may have been caused by a condition known as Pica, which brings on “non-traditional” cravings, The Huffington Post reported.

“I started craving toilet roll. I still don’t know why,” she said.

Speaking to the Liconshire Echo, Sylvester said she liked the “the feeling of the texture in my mouth, rather than the taste”.
“I like the dryness. My family tell me it isn’t very good for me — but I can’t help it,” Ms Sylvester said.
