Answers:

It sounds like a form of pica, which is a condition where people (mostly pregnant women or young children) with a vitamin or mineral deficiency crave unusual things like chalk or dirt. Fortunately, what you're wanting is edible, but it's not the best choice for you -- way too much sodium and probably rough on the digestive system, too.

I'd talk to my doctor and have some bloodwork done. Your diet may be lacking something that causes you to want to eat the same thing all day.
