Need help identifying an illness.?
Recently I heard about an illness that afflicts children and adults, causing them to eat incessantly. They crave food continuously. Sometimes, they resort to eating inanimate objects. What's this illness called? Is it classified as an eating disorder?

It sounds like you are talking about willie prader syndrome. This is an eating disorder/mental illness. The cause is genetic and there is no cure for this condition.

you know, doctors spend years studying this kind of stuff, my guess would be that they might know more that the people on yahoo answers would know.
