how are these people not dead
Oh he can eat plastic bags and the other lady can eat drywall, but if I want to enjoy some fucking cookie dough I’ll get salmonella and die
If that person were cutting, the tumblr reactions wouldn’t be this way..
Addictions are addictions. They’re serious and bad for you, and I absolutely hate it when I see people taking addictions like pica and turning them into some kind of joke. People don’t take it seriously enough, they just categorize those people as “weird” and “crazy”, and it’s rude as all hell. *grumpy bird noises*
What’s worse is that some addicts are treated as criminals despite the fact that addiction is an illness. Hell, in one european country, I odn’t remember which but you can look it up, they proved that treating addicts like patients rather than criminals is not only cheaper, but also helps bring crime down a lot because the people get the help they need.
