WTF did I just watch?

That lady getting excited about receiving a package of dirt and hustling to the kitchen to open it.

I came to post the exact damn thing. The video might have been a tad racist if it wasn't for the two black women in it eating dirt! shite man, I feel like you could catch a tapeworm or die from bacteria eating dirt near a river or any dirt.

We give cornstarch to my son before bed because it breaks down slowly and keeps a constant stream of food energy in his system overnight. Just mix it in a shake though.

"Pica may be a cultural practice not associated with a deficiency or disorder. Ingestion of kaolin (white clay) among African American women in the US state of Georgia shows the practice there to be a DSM-4 "culture-bound syndrome" and "not selectively associated with other psychopathology"


Or anyone in the country in the 50's, 60's 70's 80's who took Kaopectate for diarrhea.

43 now including me…

The thread is about black women eating corn starch. Our friend was giving his comical estimate on how many posters he thinks will get banned for their comments in this thread and how many others will get private messages and warnings from the moderators…


It’s common early in threads such as these and usually good for a chuckle.

He saying bc it’s a controversial and potentially racist topic the thread would result in 3.5 posters getting banned and 17 posters getting warning direct messages.

I remember hearing this as a kid. I do believe it a thing that stems from "an old wive's tale."

for real? and presumably people would pay for it? And eat it? I don't know what is more insane.

In 1942 it was reported that as many as 25 percent of African American children in one Mississippi county engaged in dirt eating; as recently as 1971, eating dirt was common in the state. The practice is now disappearing, although some people persist in private to avoid social stigma. In some cases, people suffering from pica eat starch or soda rather than dirt.
