i've heard of plenty of people with weird cravings, including dirt. my best friend craved pickles with peanut butter. my mom craved insane amounts of salt.
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

the cravings are a result of your brain saying "hey i need this food because it has X chemical's and protiens in it to help the baby because your body doesn not have enough of it"

My younger sister used to like eating dirt as a toddler. I can still picture her as a 2 year old eating fist fulls of dirt out of the flower box

Malcolm. It's a common phenomenon called "pica" where some women get a craving for certain types of dirt and clay. Crushed ice is another one. That often signifies anemia.
Yay for stupid trivia I learn in school!

I went to a school for pregnant girls and there were some who craved cornstarch and one who craved burned matches. She would get a book of matches and burn them all and then eat the tips. The other two walked around with boxes of cornstarch and ate it by the spoonful. Me I would take whatever I could find in the fridge and mix it together. Once I mixed sour cream tuna fish noodles and cheese.
