I'm dead serious. She ate DIRTY!!!!

I know that your body goes through changes and you crave weird stuff, but DIRT!?!?!?

Anyone know if this could possibly be true?

I heard of a pregnant woman eating out of the fireplace because she needed a substance that is found in ashes, so I wouldn't be surprised. It's pretty amazing what they can sense without ever having tried it before.

Hey Sweetie!!

Look up PICA!!

I just can't stop calling him AB. I'm hardly going to start referring to him as Imago or The Imago Mind or some hippy lovin' bullshit like that.

I've heard of people eating red clay from the south. A news program (perhaps 20/20 or Dateline?) actually did a segment on such clay for sell.

my aunt use to eat vicks vapor rub

and if a close family member or friend of mine is pregnant i get their cravings and sometimes really bad cravings once all iate for a week was chinese white rice and chicken and brocoli and im not fond of white rice at all

My best friend told me she has dirty red hair because her mom ate red clay.

Absolutly true! They are seeking iron. ( I haven't met someone who physically did eat the dirt but when they told their Dr they were given iron.)

My sister-in-law craved CEMENT when she was pregnant!!! (no, she didn't actually eat any of it)

I'm not pregnant...but I am craving some ben and jerry's half baked...which I have in my freezer...

Yes you have Muse! You just didn't know it! We call it Eating Dirt. But it is actually clay and it tastes dry, flaky and salty. Once you find out what it is you do not have the craving for it but my cousins would get the cravings when they were little. Not just pregnant women.

Good grief!!
I craved Ginger ale with Taylor and ice cubes with Tyryn

I'm craving donuts right now!

It's called Pica.

I craved chalk and coal for years until I was diagnosed with anaemia.
... come to think of it, I could still eat it .. but it has to be the right type.

when i look back at my cravings, Sheetz nachos, i thought that was weird
