PICA: Pica is characterized by an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive, such as ice, clay, chalk, dirt, or sand. In your case, it is not recommended to eat baby powder, as that substance is not intended for consumption. You should see a psychiatrist for your craving and want to consume this substance. Best wishes.
