Can you actually eat dirt? Is it good for you?
Even worms don't "eat dirt" they eat biological material like decaying plant matter. And it depends what kind of "worm" we're talking about here. There are countless varieties that eat different things.
But animals that eat pure minerals directly from the Earth? Not many.
Yeah that whole niche was kinda taken over by the flora kingdom early on jokes on them though we have SpongeBob on our team! He lives in a pineapple showing the innate superiority of animals over plants.
No they're more like carrion eaters.
Also an amazing inventor once said "grass taste bad" pretty sure he would know.
I used to like it as a kid, I dunno why. Could be the body demanding minerals or just a kid being stupid
