Why don’t Americans eat snails?
I like them, and even make them at home occasionally. I don’t think they are a match to today’s trendy diets, so very few restaurants offer them. They are somewhat “old school” now. Since they are somewhat hard to find, people may be intimidated eating them, remember Julia Roberts character in “Pretty Woman”? She struggled a bit.As you know, Escargots à la Bourguignonne (the most common style to serve) are soaked in butter, with heavy garlic, and served with bread. Not everybody would like this even if they can get by the snails.
In Paris are snails healthy?
YES!!!! Snails are very healthy. They have a lot of iron in them and very little calories (minus the sauce!). Don't be afraid of snails just because you do not eat them often. In Spain, they eat caracoles (small snails) all the time. The French are all about their food and would not have a risky food as a staple of their diet. Honestly, I have never had better snails then in the Les Halles area of Paris. It was utterly amazing. Snails taste like any other mollusk, yet with a unique flavor. All in all, TRY THEM!!!!

What happens when people eat dirt?
In some poor countries, they eat mud cakes. The mud fills the stomach, so the person eating it would not feel hungry. But of course mud contains no calories, so if mud cake is eaten too often instead of regular meals, there will be malnutrition. Chewing the mud, if there is a lot of sand in it, can also wear down the teeth excessively. Dirt also contains lots of parasites and germs. If the dirt or mud is not cooked, then one can be infected by all sorts of diseases and parasites. Some parrots eat clay because it neutralizes the toxin they get from eating seeds. Perhaps the person who eats dirt is doing the same. There is a tiny amount of cyanide in many seeds, including almonds. Therefore if one eats a lot of seeds because one is a vegetarian, eating dirt may help them neutralize some of the toxins.
