I used to be addicted to clay too and when I couldn't get my hands on it, I tried chalk but it tasted too chemically and chalky so I stopped eating it. Which led me to eat excessive ice cubes. Tesco ice cubes was my favourite - it was chunky and shiny...lol. I went to the doctor to check my health because I was always tired and sluggish. It was confirmed that I was anaemic and so had to start taking iron pills. As soon as I started taking the pills, my crave for all things clay and ice gradually stopped. I believe deficiency in iron makes people crave for things of which some people call it pica.
