TikTok's newest health advice is to go eat some dirt.  Eating "biodynamic soil" in the form of clay is supposed to help with everything from gut health to acne.

There's even a term for people who do it . . . "crunchers." The idea is that it's loaded with minerals that are good for you.

If you want to try this, you can't just go to Mitford Pond to scoop some dirt and chow down. Normal dirt is full of chemicals.

So you need to buy special dirt called "biodynamic soil." Websites that sell it say it has a "medium hard crunch" and a "pleasant earthy taste."  

There's still lots of time to fill up your fuel tank for Boundary Co-op's FUEL GOOD DAY fundraiser for local projects and programs in each of these three communities:
