Type in “pica psychological disorder” in google, it is also listed in the diagnostic and statistical manual for psychological disorders as a eating disorder.Pica is a medical disorder characterized by an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive (e.g., coal, soil, feces, chalk, paper, soap, mucus, ash, gum etc. ) or an abnormal appetite for some things that may be considered foods.

I was wondering the same thing. You can dress someone up to look fat but I don’t see how you could fake thin.

Don’t eat anything in the car…did anyone see the calories in the gear shift alone?
January 7, 2009
Man these are great dietary tips! I’ll be sure to count those extra calories from eating grape menthol pencils…

Umm… is this a joke?! Hahhaha

I love the onion but making fun of sick people is a little much for me. Anorexia leads to death over a third of the time. If I were a younger man I would say the people who produced this video need a good old fashioned bitch-slapping…. I suppose we can just let their karma catch up with them instead…

Actually although this is satire their is a psychological disorder called “pica”..I think, its where people basically obsessively munch on the things she’s talking about

Funny, but… kind of sick!

Oh my god the Onion writers and actors are great. I love the show. I am amazed by some people not realizing that all their shows are ironic views on world and mass media problems. They really have something with the Chinese , saw at least 5 skits about this topic. Well done, Onion! Always make me laugh.

hopefully.

i wondered about that too. my guess is she’s an anorexic who recently developed an insight into her problem, and she’s using this sketch as a way to help her change her life.

lol dude, people with disorders have a sense of humor too.
