     @mk with yummy strawberries for desert. Alas, not biological/organic.

     @mcnalu oh. confusing. must try to remember that! (I'm sure I've used 'biological' in that sense before but never got a comment - don't hesitate to correct me!)

     @mcnalu I was eating strawberries before (or rather, after), not cherries :p

     @mcnalu we do need inorganic substances, like (rare) metals and minerals. In some places some of those a rare in people's diet, and people may get deficiencies. And just like we may swallow pills to combat such deficiencies, in other places on earth people have found certain soils (local or non-local) may provide what they need - and they actually eat soil (which may be "imported" from elsewhere). I've been on a small local market in Tanzania where several vendors sold a variety of soils (from bags) that were for eating.

     @zoowar thanks, I was looking for a reference and found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophagy - but it doesn't say much about its use to supplement (locally) missing substances in normal food. @mcnalu

     @mk I meant trace metals (not rare metals) of course @mcnalu
