Karnataka teenager has eaten nothing but Parle-G biscuits all her life

It wouldn’t be wrong to call Ramawwa a real-life "Parle-G Girl". The 18-year-old from Belagavi, Karnataka, has been having only Parle-G biscuits since her birth. In fact, the first food she had ever tasted was Parle-G biscuits mixed with cow milk as she was never breastfed by her mother.

Ramawwa eats about six to seven packets of biscuits a day and refuses to try any other food item. Although her twin brother was also fed the same concoction, he later grew out of it. Her parents are agricultural workers in the Talakatnal village and do not have the financial means to pay for her medical treatment. The girl has confessed that she has no idea what she would do if the brand stops manufacturing her favourite biscuits, according to local reports.

Doctors at the Lake View Hospital have tried in vain to convince Ramawwa to try out other types of food or even experiment with a different biscuit brand. An expert opines that consistent medical counselling will help in dispelling her fears that normal food will cause harm to her body.
