Is it normal to eat dirt?

Apparently someone I know eats dirt. I asked her if she was joking and she said no. I asked her why she would do this and she said it tastes good. If anyone here has eaten dirt tell me what it tastes like. I’m so confused.

    Sounds as if your friend has a mental condition called Pica.

    It's not normal. But when I was 5 and 6 years old, I ate paper, and erasers off the ends of pencils. But I was a little kid. If your friend who eats dirt is an adult, that is very weird and your friend needs help

    Pica?

  • I can see the appeal, a little bit. But eating dirt is a bad idea. It could have chemicals, poop, all kinds of wacky germs, you name it. Dirt could probably even give you itchy little bum buggers called "pinworms".

    It could taste like cat poop if you are not careful.

    Yeah only if you're like five and making mud pies for daddy then yes, otherwise if you're older you need to seek medical help. This could be sign of mental illness or medical e.i. lack of iron.

    Eventually she will get her hands on some night soil, ingest it and become frightfully ill.

    It tatses disgusting and I didn't eat it on purpose. Doesn't sound healthy either but I can't be for sure. Weird as fuck and definently not normal.
