People generally do not eat toilet paper. But if they do it is probably a strange addiction.

Not all people have oral fixation problems. Sometimes this is caused by the person failing to exit the "stage" of childhood that involves putting everything possible in your mouth. Other people just get into the habit of doing so. There could very well be more scietific explanations, though.

I'm 15 and a few months ago I used to chew on straws a lot.

My reasons/excuses was that I was bored/hungry or I was under a lot of stress.

It could be due to other reasons though, but they were my reasons.

Well because the mind of the human body craves for one reason, it sounds good.So this might mean since the lady or man is probably rich or fat. If rich it means they eat alot of nice good tasting food so they just might want to take a break. A fat person because they are on a diet. And any one else is just strange!

One major reason for this is anorexia or other eating disorders. Some people suffering from these condition eat toilet paper (or other paper or tissue) to control their hunger, it is a way for them to trick their bodies into thinking they are eating and if they swallow the paper they are doing so to feel "full" without actually eating anything with calories or nutritional value.

People use paper to write letters, type documents or for keeping their hands clean. Paper is a resource that comes from trees and can be used for many things.
