You are not weird and every one is right it does sound like pica. When my iron is low I crave for baby powder without  corn starch in it. I take an iron pill along with my prenatal pill daily.

This is pica you are low on a vitamin if nutrient so you need to go to Dr for supplements to add to prenatal.

Sounds a bit like pica, you may want to mention that to your doctor to make sure it's not a deficiency that your body is trying to make up for.
Best of luck!
