I don’t mean this type of clay.
I’m talking about the edible clay or “healing clay” that’s suddenly become the next big thing.

She was interviewed on this beauty blog, describing clay as “one of the best things you can put into your body” and then clay-eating became the talk of the town. Here’s Shailene describing why she eats clay to David Letterman.
So what’s this clay thing all about?
