Cement eating man baffles everyone

Haris Daeng Ngalle, an Indonesian man from Pattallassang, has a concrete idea of what his favorite food is, and that’s not a joke. For the last three years, he’s been dining on cement. Sometimes he mixes it into his drinks, a normal way to consume the construction material when compared to using it as a topping for bananas. But what drives an otherwise sane man to eat cement? And how did he build up (no pun intended) a tolerance to it? ‘This habit started in 2021 when I was stuck in a warehouse. I was breathing a lot of dust from the cement, that made me pray to God, to ask if I could be united with the cement. Then I drank the cement with water. After that, I do it occasionally,’ he said, which doesn’t really explain it, but oh well. This unusual eating habit has cemented (really, no pun intended) him as something of a local celebrity, especially because he doesn’t appear to be any worse for wear after years of his unusual diet. He must be made of tougher stuff, and no, we don’t mean the concrete.
