Most likely the person has an iron deficiency and talcum powder/baby powder has iron in it.
It sounds like they have a disorder called Pica, which is the eating of non-food materials (e.g., coal, soil, chalk, paper etc.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(disor鈥?/a>
It is pretty gross, no matter what the reason for it is.Why do people enjoy eating talcum powder (baby powder)?
Probably the same reason my dog eats poop, because she's a freak
