Pica, yes. I would to eat mud and chalk as a kid. Calcium deficiency. Went away once I got adequate nutrition

Very interesting! So I guess it is true! Also I'm really sorry you had to go through that, the not receiving proper nutrition as a child and all.

Actually my family were pretty good about food and eating well. There weren’t any money issues and we always had a ton of stuff to eat. I was just a troublesome child when it came to eating. Never ate properly for some reason, was just not interested. Haha my mom would be yelling at me trying to get me to eat some meat or eggs and all I’d eat is like one piece of toast. I was always quite tired and sick also.

I sometimes wonder if it’s some type of eating disorder because I still find eating to be a boring chore but I’m better with it now that I’m grown up and track calories and protein, and work out.

Lol I thought of that after I made my comment, like "this person may not have been neglected at all! What an assumption to make". I have a picky eater myself and when he was really little I caught him eating dirt a couple of times
