" A 45-year-old US woman has eaten 1,360kg (215st) of rocks over the last 20 years. Teresa Widener, who calls rocks and pebbles her &amp;quot;ultimate comfort food&amp;quot; and stores them in her kitchen cupboard, has consumed the average weight of a humpback whale in stones. However, the Virginia native said that after marrying husband Jim, she has managed to curb her cravings. She told Metro: &amp;quot;Jim makes me so happy I&amp;#039;ve started eating less. But everyone has bad days and when I have one, only rocks can make me feel better.&amp;quot; Widener breaks up larger rocks into more edible bite-size pieces with a special rock hammer, but she prefers ones that are soft and brittle. She also explained: &amp;quot;I pick the ones I like the look of. I like their earthy flavour so sometimes I just suck the mud straight off.&amp;quot; The mother of two has a medical condition known as Pica, which causes sufferers to become addicted to eating bizarre objects. &amp;amp;gt; Woman &amp;#039;eats 4,000 sponges, 100 bars of soap&amp;#039;&amp;amp;gt; Pregnant woman craves furniture polish "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
