I mean, this is stupid as fuck but there is research behind the whole "let kids play in the mud and eat dirt" thing. Kids that grow up like that tend to have stronger immune systems and are less prone to allergies. It's still not really a good idea.

>Meet the 'crunchers' who purchase 'edible' dirts, clays and chalks online for a number of supposed health benefits. Numerous retailers have set up shop on digital marketplaces like Etsy and eBay to offer rocks and other geological detritus for human consumption, priced at less than £10. Suppliers use descriptives terms you'd recognise in a wine shop, touting their product as having 'a very pleasant earthy taste with a medium hard crunch'.

What annoys me is how pretentious they're being about it. "It has an earthy taste" Yeah because it's fucking dirt! You're eating it because you're a mentally deranged gremlin just own it.

No kidding. Then again, sounds like a good business plan. Go get literal dirt that costs you basically nothing. Sift out the rocks, Shape it, bake it, sell it to morons on TikTok for like $20+ a bag.

Careful, you might fix the Haitian economy. I can see it now...

Oh, wait, no I can't. Making mud cookies takes work. Niggers don't work. Nevermind.

You had me worried there for a moment. I thought I might have to try to find your family for a mental eval.

You almost thought that the sub room temp IQ population would be able to execute a plan as simple as that.

Good thing you came to your senses.
