Is eating paper bad for you? my friend has been eating a lot of paper recently and i am concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unless the paper had toxic material on it, like newsprint that can contain lead, it is just a bad habit. Such patterns are often a stress reliever to those involved. Having your friend seek out a life coach/therapist to teach stress management techniques may give them the help they need to get off that bad habit.
