WW...

It's called pica...an unexplainable craving. I was taught by a doctor that a food craving is usually an indication of a nutrient that my body is lacking and it was wise to listen to my cravings...at the time it was bananas...little did I know my heart was needing the extra potassium..

Anyway since I like weird info, here is the other side, the weird side, the scary side of pica

About Pica

The word pica comes from the Latin word for magpie, a bird known for its large and indiscriminate appetite.

Pica is most common in people with developmental disabilities, including autism and mental retardation, and in children between the ages of 2 and 3. Although kids younger than 18 to 24 months can try to eat nonfood items, it isn't necessarily considered abnormal at that age.

Pica is also a behavior that may surface in children who've had a brain injury affecting their development. It can also be a problem for some pregnant women, as well as people with epilepsy.

People with pica frequently crave and consume nonfood items such as:
  • dirt
  • clay
  • paint chips
  • plaster
  • chalk
  • cornstarch
  • laundry starch
  • baking soda
  • coffee grounds
  • cigarette ashes
  • burnt match heads
  • cigarette butts
  • ice
  • glue
  • hair
  • buttons
  • paper
  • sand
  • toothpaste
  • soap



...unless you're eating dirt or soap or any other weird thing on the list, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I'm...I'm developmentally challenged?

I'll admit it, hee hee. What's weird is when you meet someone that you suspect of being developmentally challenged, but they refuse to admit to themselves.

Sometimes, I crave burnt popcorn (I posted in another thread). I don't think I'm challenged, though, honestly. Unless I'm one of those weird ones that can pass through a bunch of tests and fool everybody.

Not that there's anything wrong with of, of course. Some of the brightest souls I've ever met on God's earth were challenged folks. We can all stand to be a bit more like them.

Thanks, Kitsap. I never knew there was a word for it. Pica. Sounds pretty, huh?
