Have you never heard the tale of that guy, lost at sea, who slowly stopped eating the normal parts of fish as he started to crave the eyes and other unusual parts? Wish I could remember his name. He blamed the change in cravings on a nutrient deficiency.

People who are starving will also often start having weird cravings for things like rocks and other substances likely to be high in certain minerals
