Food addictions






I never considered specific food related addictions, but here are some courtesy of the Straight Dope:


"Pagophagia, a hankering for ice (one sufferer admitted to a five-tray-a-day habit supplemented by bags of crushed ice obtained at convenience stores)


Xylophagia, a yen for wood toothpicks


Coniophagia, a lust for dust from venetian blinds


Gooberphagia, pathological consumption of peanuts.


Other cravings include ten bunches of celery a day, a peppermint Life Saver every five minutes, salad croutons by the handful, coal, foam rubber, and worse. One woman, a nonsmoker, reportedly "would burn cigarettes to obtain the ashes" and when her husband smoked would follow him with cupped hand to catch the ashes as they fell."
