Another surprise was learning that roughly 2 percent of males who are 18 years old or older have to deal with this addiction and about 16 percent of females between age 16 and 19 do also.

These types of addictions fall under a class of addictions known as pica – addictions that make people want to eat various substances that are not normally considered food. More on that later.
