Has anyone here ever eaten their non food craving? (Dirt, chalk, soap ect.)

Question

Answer

Never had a craving like that, but if you do crave things that are not food i know you need to bring it up to your doctor. Most of the time its a symptom of an underlying health problem (anemia, vitamin deficiency, etc)
