LOL Catholics do that all the time. They think eating the word is actually literal.

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

Ezekiel 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

And Catholics say "I did eat the flesh".

Jesus used both literal and figurative expressions in His earthly ministry.    For anyone experiencing confusion between the literal and the figurative expressions from Jesus Christ (concerning the Holy Eucharist), here is a brief youtube video clip you might want to take a look at, which may help to clear up some of the confusion:
