What is it called (besides weird) when you crave things that arent exactly food?

  • It's called pica. Usually it means you're deficient in a certain mineral/vitamin. Tell your doctor about it so you can have your levels checked. It's weird but common. :)
  • I think it begins with a P lol it will come to me....I know that's no help lol
