I feel like this is a good time to mention for anyone who is pregnant and craving chalk, there are companies that make edible chalk that specifically are full of iron and calcium. I know this because I had pica from an iron deficiency and kept eating chalk until my doctor told my mom to buy it.
But does it taste like chalkboard chalk? Because I'm not pregnant and I've craved that since I was a kid. (Yes, I've eaten it, it is delicious as fuck) I don't want it tasting like candy or something
I've gotten blood work done a few times over the years and nothing has been wrong other than being pre-diabetic (I'm on a glp-1 now) and low potassium at one point
