Incredibly, the mother-of five from Florida can’t stop eating household items, such as rubbers and elastic bands. But her favourite snack is the polyester filling from sofa cushions. To her, man-made foam is more delicious than biscuits or cakes.
Adele, 30, is suffering from recognised medical condition, Pica. Having munched her way through eight sofas and five chairs, she estimates that she’s digested nearly 16st of synthetic foam in her lifetime.

She simply can’t stop and now she’s terrified of eating herself into an early grave. In recent months, she’s had emergency treatment for intestinal obstruction after eating chunks of polyester foam which she refers to simply as “cushion”. Doctors have warned that she will leave her children motherless if she doesn’t give up, but she says she’s powerless to stop.

This is a true story.

They need to be doing more than telling her, for crying out loud! She's got a recognized medical condition. Treat it!
