Breakfast of Champions

As I was walking to work today a man was walking a few feet in front of me. All of the sudden he reached down, grabbed a huge handful of snow, and began chowing down! This wasn't the beautiful white fluffy stuff either. This was dirty pollution/inversion flavored snow. I started laughing so hard I though I going to make yellow snow right then and there! What would possess a full grown adult to eat dirty snow? This question has been bothering me all morning. Hunger or thirst? He was a poor college student with no money for breakfast? Dirty snow just hits the spot at 8:00 am? I just don't know, what do you guys think?
I'm hungry just looking at this picture!

I think he was craving it because he was low on iron. My mom used to eat a lot of dirt (more than the average amount of dirt kids eat) when she was a little kid. Grandma Eden took her to the doctor and he gave her iron pills. She stopped craving and eating dirt after that.
Did he see or hear you laughing? I would have totally cracked up too! That is jilarious!

That could be one of the sickest things I have ever heard. I wish I could have seen you laughing way hard!

It's either a sign of a mineral deficiency or schizophrenia. Schizos crave water like nobody's business. Or maybe he's just a freak.

Hey maybe he is diabetic. Untreated diabetics get super-duper thirsty too. I just thought of that when Dory mentioned it being disease related.

Oh my gosh, that is so gross! I would have laughed hard too seeing that.
