Is it normal that my friend eats ants and his bro eats chalk?

So I know this guy (even though I wish I didn't) that's picks up ants right up off the sidewalk and eats them! When ever I see him do this, I always think, "Oh my god, what the fuck is wrong with him?" (His little brother also eats chalk. The only way that I know that is because he told me himself).

So, do you think this is normal? Please post what you think.
Thanks. :)

    Well actually,

    there is a show with tyra banks, and there was girl who ate toilet paper (look it up true story) some people have a chemical inbalance, and can't help but do it, or htey just do it to try it out and it becomes a habit, it is normal because if you think ants are bad to eat, try watching " man vs. wild, he eats all types of things, animals and all, raw. So I would say yes he it is fine.

    Some people eat weird things. If he likes the taste of ants, there's no problem with that: they're a good source of protein.
    As far as chalk, no problem there either. It's just calcium carbonate: the same thing that's in antacids. Some people like it.

    There're many cultures that eat ants. There's such a thing as chocolate covered ants. I don't know if this is The case here, though.

    The part about chalk is most likely caused by pica. He should see a doctor for it.
