Summary: Emma Veness, the woman whose age is 26 years old in United Kingdom, has bizarre eating disorder. She has been eating furniture polish since she became prenant. Actually, she has a rare eating disorder named pica. She said that she can't even sleep unless she eats the polish in the middle of night.

Traditionally, her grandmother and mother also had like this kind of disorder. They used to eat coal. However, she needs help because she doesn't know what to do.

Opinion: It's really weird. I think this article should be read by many doctors and they should care this woman because drinking the polish is not a good thing for a preganant woman. What are doctors doing?

In my opinion, she also follows the tradition like her grandmother and mother. However, coal is not a bad thing for humans but frankly furniture polish is really bad for humans because there are some chemicals which harm humans. I think just filling up what she wants to do in her pregnancy, drinking the polish, may harm or kill the baby.

Anyway, it's kind of exciting topic. Usually pregnant women want to eat something like pizza, chicken, or others but it's really weird to eat the furniture polish for pregnancy. Let's assume one situation. A man is drinking the polish and if you see him, what would think about him? Surely you will say he's crazy. In the same way, a pregnant woman who eats the polish is really crazy. I think she really needs check-up.

I hope my future wife wouldn't have this kind of disorder because it's really awful. I would be really shocked. It's not good to see beside and I think it would not be good for my babies also. I will pray for my future wife not to have this disorder and also for this woman who is suffering.
