My Strange Addiction: Still Addicted? grew out of the original that aired on TLC for six seasons after the 2010 premiere. There was a guy who fell in love with his car because he need an object to satisfy his love.

Most of the people that were showcased had a passion for objects, but others like Kinah  were different. She can’t stop eating toilet paper. So, triggered fans recalled the coronavirus lockdowns and the desperate search for the stuff. 

My Strange Addiction: Still Addicted? – More Than Drugs

Drug and alcohol use seem tragically common in life. Of course, there’s also food addiction, and TLC fans are familiar with Tammy Slaton.

At the moment, she and her sister Amy seem to be doing well. However, she struggled to overcome her desire for a mountain of unhealthy food. All addictions seem to be unhealthy, especially when taken to the extreme. One can only wonder how Kinah can even digest the amount of paper that she consumes daily. 

Kinah is not alone on My Strange Addiction. So far, recent episodes on TLC include a woman who chows down on paint. Meanwhile, another person enjoys drinking bleach. One can’t help but wonder if that did anything at all for him during covid-19. Actually, many doctors warned against that sort of thing. Anyway, KInah, who drools over the taste and texture of toilet paper, like those others, suffers from Pica. 

My Strange Addiction: Pica Sufferers

According to My Family Doctor Org, “Pica is a compulsive eating disorder in which people eat non-food items. Dirt, clay, and flaking paint are the most common items eaten.” Additionally, it seems more common in children than adults. The website explains, that most often it affects “adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.”  Notably, people like Kinah really should consult with a doctor. 

The My Strange Addiction teaser for Wednesday’s show on TLC revealed that KInah eats so much toilet paper, that she spends $2,700 every year on her craving. And, it’s a massive craving. In two decades, it’s estimated that she consumed about 14,000 pounds of the stuff. Nevertheless, she seems unconcerned because it contains “no calories.” People can’t believe their eyes when they see her hungrily snacking it down in public. Actually, she eats it everywhere, “at work,” in “the nail salon,” wherever she goes.
