I eat it everyday too!!!! I can’t stop at all. I feel a little better to know that I’m not the only one. I just love the taste too. It’s wonderfully grimy and perfect. And it really does melt in your mouth. I like the idea of eating the earth. I think that makes me weird, but whatever. It’s for me too.

I eat it every day. It is like the rain and melts like chocolate. Have some water nearbye, at times your mouth will instantly dry out. But it is so good, I am addicted to it. I am not female so it has nothing to do with needing it or craving it during pregnancy. I also get plenty of iron, so it isn’t about a vitamin deficiency. No I just love the taste of the Earth, and this is the best to satisfy that. In fact I feel 100% better now that I eat it all the time. It is not for everyone, but it is for me. Cheers

There are so many Thai legends about how the mothers of famous Thai warriors would always want to eat dirt from the heart if some enemy stronghold. Apparently, it was a sign of the baby’s impending greatness. :)
