    Sticking your dirty finger in your mouth =/= intentionally eating a handful of clay from a preferred source that is baked and seasoned with salt and vinegar. Incidental ingestion is not the same thing as intentional consumption. Are you gonna tell your kid that they need to lick their dirty hands clean?

      Correct.

      Incidental ingestion is not the same thing as intentional consumption.

      Coreect again! great work.

      Are you gonna tell your kid that they need to lick their dirty hands clean?

      I highly recommend you do not tell kids to “lick their dirty hands clean”, which ignores my own and the scientific advice in the linked and other articles regarding eating dirt.

      it’s also gross and weird.
