That second girl is one mean paper-eater. Lisa ad a different technique--she wadded it up in her mouth and then showed it off to her fans before each swallow . . .
I got the impression the second girl had challenged herself to achieve this feat, wavered a bit halfway in... and then just went for it!
No wadding for show-off; but then, I guess making a you tube video is even more show-offy than mere ostentatious wadding for the benefit of ambient peers.
Yes, Lisa was picky. She preferred brown paper. She didn't eat the lined paper we used to practice our script . .. even though that looked relatively organic.

Well, obviously we girls have made great strides since those days!
In today's enlightened world, the spiritual children of Lisa are no longer made to suffer the pains of the paper-eater stigma!
We eat paper when and as we please!
Just try to stop us!
