Should we be eating dirt for digestion?

[romanstock]

Other animals eat rocks to help digest and all of them accidentally eat dirt, babies eat dirt, and when i watch documentaries of the indigenous savages they all eat dirt too.

Yes we should, you should probably try and eat as much as you can to make up all the years you didn’t, I would recommend a kg a day

Good point, there's even a book called "Eat dirt" that argues we shouldn't wash our vegetables and fruits too well, so we can ingest some of the bacteria that's on them, it's beneficial for our gut and digestion...Back when we were kids we would often eat fruits picked directly from the trees, without washing them, and we didn't have any problems.

Eating dirt is one of the best things you can do for health. Clay particles remain in the dirt, and this clay holds many nutrients like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium just to name a few

Not to mention the bacteria would aid your gut floor. 100g of dirt a day keeps the doctor away.

Whys raw milk dumb?

Whys raw milk dumb?

it's not dumb per se. maybe a little because there's a small risk of getting sick. it's just the degree to which people promote raw milk like it's some magic shit. there are people with raw milk bumper stickers. seriously

It’s an old belief they used to eat sand
