DESPITE urgent doctors warnings, a reality star who is addicted to eating raw meat refused point blank to do so.
US network TLC airs 'My Strange Addiction: Still Addicted?', which followed the lives of individuals struggling with unusual addictions.
In the factual entertainment show, viewers track the progress of those with interesting addictions as contributors display odd behaviour patterns.
However a man named Weston has consumed over 5000 pounds of raw meat over four years.
This is the equivalent of eight full size cows or over 120 sheep, as he described his fridge looking like a "horror movie".
He even made an appointment for advice from a gastroenterologist, but he has no intentions of changing anytime soon.
Weston even admitted that over his life he ate over 100 raw chickens, but despite the risk of Salmonella, he insists he never got sick once.
The star was seen munching on uncooked mince or 'ground meat' as he declared: "Both me and my dogs we actually share something in common, we both designed to eat raw meat."
"I'm addicted to eating raw meat," he explained as he bit into what looked like a large raw rib-eye steak which he labelled, "delicious".
"This steak was fed a little bit of grain, a little bit of corn, so you can taste, sort of the sweetness in the steak.

"It's basically like very squishy in my mouth and since it's raw, it slides down your throat, you don't have to chew it up that much
"It's a very good feeling, it's almost borderline euphoric, it can feel very primal."
He added: "After I eat it, I get this urge to like howl like a wolf," before he then practised his best howl directly towards the camera lense.
The doctor warned the TV personality that he had an ‘abnormal’ strain of E. coli.
The disease can lead to a string of health complications which include kidney problems and it could even be critical.
Weston explained ‘I’m not surprised at all that they found something. I eat the most bizarre diet of all time, of course, I’m probably going to have some unusual strains of bacteria that they don’t normally see in people’s stools."
But the contributor only brushed the advice off as he told his doctor: "I appreciate that, I’m probably going to continue eating raw meat, and if I start feeling bad, I’ll come in for a visit.
"But until then, I’ll probably keep on trucking."
