Michel Lotito from France can eat anything, including glass, metal, and even poisonous materials. He had even consumed an entire Cessna 150 airplane. Oddly enough, he has trouble eating and digesting bananas and hard-boiled eggs.

Lotito suffered from Pica, which is a medical condition that causes cravings to eat such things as dirt, glass and, apparently, anything metal. The disorder, as you might guess, can lead to a blocked intestine and other surgical emergencies in normal people. Lead poisoning is also a risk.
