Resumo

This paper investigates the topic of dirt‐eating. Using a review of the literature and intensive interviews conducted with twelve dirt eaters the study investigates dirt eaters from four focal points: 1) how each individual “got started” eating dirt; 2) where they get the dirt from; 3) when do they eat dirt and 4) why do they eat dirt. A discussion is offered on the future of the phenomenon and the implications of our findings.
