Today, I had to sit through chemistry class watching the kid in front of me slowly peel off the scabs on his arms, examine them, and then eat them. For an hour. FML

You could have not paid attention to him, and actually learn something?

Just reading that made me cringe...

At least one person has mentioned... Its protein recycling! Not a particularly nice way of going about it...

It's actually a disorder called Dermatillomania, which is similar to OCD and Trichotillomania, and sometimes a form of self-harm. Most of the time sufferers also have depression, OCD, or anxiety disorders. It's a way of releasing stress, much like cutting, and is very difficult to stop. Sufferers become obsessed with imperfections in their skin, and although logically picking at their skin will make it worse (and they know this), they can't stop. Not all sufferers eat the scabs, but some do. They know that people find it disgusting and they are very ashamed of their disorder, but cannot control the impulse. Although it's gross that he would do it in public, maybe you should consider what others might be going through in their lives rather than judging people for something they can't help and making fun of them on the internet.
