Pica is a disease whose main characteristic is the consumption of non-food products. Gerald Callahan (2013) wrote an article titled “Eating Dirt” that discusses the immunological effects of pica from eating dirt. There are various types of non-food products consumed by people who exhibit abnormal behavior. There are numerous health risks and problems related to people who eat food that is not meant to be eaten, and conversely, there are also benefits for people who eat certain picas. There are multiple possibilities as to why people eat non-food items. A variety of picas are present in modern culture. A pica can be eaten in many different forms. Callahan (2013: 164) suggests the idea of ​​eating earth for children and also for people later in life as most foods contain traces of earth. It explains the tendency of young children to consume the land and in Western cultures this is looked down upon. People who consume large amounts of non-food products are often referred to as sick or abnormal. To be labeled sick for eating soil it is defined that you must consume more than 50 grams of soil per day. The idea of ​​consumption of non-food products as abnormal behavior is further expressed by Sharma (2011: 2375) who explains the case of an elderly patient with dementia who ate her own feces and she was admitted to hospital because it abnormal and perhaps nauseating behavior. action. This is a type of pica because the non-food product has no nutritional value and is considered very abnormal to eat. In most societies around the world, eating feces is abnormal due to the resulting health problems. Piazza (2002: 235) explains a variety of picas that mentally handicapped girls consume such as: car keys, stones, sticks, rubber gloves, batteries, plastic, cloth, soap, feces... in the middle of paper.. ....items are available to a person with pica, so they will consume them unless they are trained not to. Pica disorder can be reduced because it costs too much for a person with pica to try to find a non-food item to eat. In conclusion, society considers the consumption of non-food items to be abnormal, even if the object is dirty or a battery, and the variety of objects that people with pica can use can vary greatly. There are a multitude of illnesses and diseases that someone who regularly eats non-food items can contract and many of them are life-threatening. At the same time, however, it should not be frowned upon for children to eat soil due to the benefits it can provide them later in life with a stronger immune system. Pica diseases appear to be a combination of innate impulses, psychological disorders, and the social environment surrounding a person.
