Went to the beach yesterday. Saw a toddler eating sand. No adult nearby. Checked around and found the dad. Told him his kid was munching on sand. He said "Yeah, thats sort of his thing". Thought I was being trolled until he did nothing about it and continued on with his day unaffected.

It was in San Diego, near the Tijuana river outlet that over flows with sewage from a plant in Mexico a few times a year, closing the beaches temporarily each time.
