Answers:

You might have Pica, it's a craving for non food products, such as chalk, dirt potato, flour ect.

The scant research that has been done on the causes of pica suggests that the disorder is a specific appetite caused by mineral deficiency in many cases, such as iron deficiency, which sometimes is a result of celiac disease[4] or hookworm infection. Often the substance eaten by someone with pica contains the mineral in which that individual is deficient

You might want to talk to your doctor to make sure that your getting everything your body needs to function.
