Strange things your addicted to??

The woman addicted to eating sofas - watch the video

When Adele Edwards is hungry, she doesn’t bother with the kitchen. She just heads straight for the furniture. Her bizarre diet is killing her but she says she just can’t stop.


Most people find it hard to resist their favourite food. Maybe it’ s *chocolate or crisps or perhaps you can’t stay away from pizza.
But if you ever worry about your eating habits, spare a thought for Adele Edwards. The mum-of-five isn’t hooked on junk food, she has a much more unusual addiction.
Incredibly, she 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.
It sounds bizarre but Adele, 30, is suffering from a recognised medical condition. 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”.
