The Man Eating Unusual Objects - Michel Lotito

Michel Lotito, was a French entertainer, born in Grenoble on June 15, 1950, famous for deliberately consuming indigestible objects. He came to be known as Monsieur Mangetout ("Mister Eats All"). He was basically a normal guy, except he ate things like metal and glass. This person is probably the only person to have this ability.



He disassembled, cut-up, and consumed 18 bicycles, 15 shopping carts, 7 televisions, 6 chandelier, 2 beds, a pair of skis, a coffin, a Cessna 150 aircraft and a 400m steel chain. The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be "eaten," from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material as a teenager around 16 years of age and performed publicly from 1966.

Lotito claimed not to suffer ill effects from consuming the materials, even after consuming materials usually considered poisonous. When performing, he consumed around 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of material daily, preceding it with mineral oil and drinking considerable quantities of water during the meal. He said, however, that bananas and hard-boiled eggs made him sick. It is estimated that between 1959 and 1997, Lotito "had eaten nearly nine tons of metal." Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday.
