Natalie Hayhurst looks like your average adorable 3-year-old. She plays with makeup, loves Justin Bieber, and loves playing with her big brother on their farm outside Terre Haute, Ind.
But when it comes to food, she's anything but average. Most kids her age are a little picky. Natalie likes everything – literally.
"Well, I first noticed it was a problem … [when] she had actually eaten my vinyl blinds that hang out to cover your sliding door. She took two bites out of them," said Natalie's mother, Colleen Hayhurst.
Natalie suffers from a rare condition called Pica that creates a compulsion to eat things that aren't food.
"She prefers the wood, paper products, cardboard, sticks," said Colleen. "She'll eat rocks, dirt; she's had a bite out of a Diet Coke can; she's eaten the little magnet out of the shower curtain, plastic bottles, toys." More...abc news
