Asking because throughout my life (including when I was little) I’ve eaten cups full of raw pasta (the rice shaped little pasta) almost like it was a drink. I finished a 500g packet of wholewheat dry spaghetti just the other day. This is something I actually do so often I got told off by my dentist last year because it’s wearing my teeth down.
Given the only sources I see for this story are the Daily Mail and The Sun, I wouldn’t put too much stock into it quite yet.
