Eating chalk is often associated with a condition called pica, where individuals crave non-food substances. Some people may consume chalk due to its texture or a desire for minerals like calcium, though it's not safe or healthy. It can also be a behavioral response to stress or nutritional deficiencies. However, eating chalk can lead to digestive issues and should be addressed with a healthcare professional.
