Tarrare

Tarrare was a man who was alive a long time ago who had a very unusual appetite. You know how you like to eat candy and cookies and other treats? Tarrare liked to eat all sorts of things that most people don't eat, like rocks and live animals. He could eat a whole basket of apples in just a few minutes and could even eat as much as a whole cow in one sitting!

Tarrare was very skinny, but his belly was really big and hung down low because he was always eating so much. He was always hungry and would keep eating and eating until he was so full that he couldn't eat anymore. Sometimes, he would eat things that were really gross or bad for him, and he would get really sick afterward.

People were really fascinated by Tarrare's weird eating habits, and he even became a kind of sideshow attraction where people could come and watch him eat strange things. But eventually, Tarrare got really sick and died, and scientists still aren't sure exactly why he was able to eat so much and such strange things without getting sick all the time.
