She eats soil to break world record ?

Wuqibalaqiqige, a young lady from China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is planning to set a new Guinness World Record in April 2007 by eating nothing but soil for more than 2 months. I wondered who is the current record holder. The young lady said that she felt no need to eat normal foods after discovering and acquiring new liking for eating soil. She has attracted much publicities for her unusual liking of eating soil.

With her new found fame, she will be launching a charity campaign to help people suffering from unusual sicknesses. This young lady do have a kind heart, but I do hope she is not suffering from certain degree of eating disorder that induce her to eat soil to relieve her anxiety

Hmm.. eating soil ? I know in certain country, eating soil is part of folk remedy for treating certain illness. For example, in certain part of Africa, clay ( kaolin) is used as an effective medication for treating stomach related illness. But to eat soil continuously for a long duration to break world record ? Me no comprehendo ! But sincerely, I do wish her success in setting a new world record for eating soil.
