    Vitamines? Fossilised ones?

    a small stone that would be his friend.

    Who needs teeth, anyway? Or maybe put them in a rock crusher first?
    Bit of concentrated acid to dissolve those minerals? (Wonder what it
    will do to the vitamins?) Or make a colloidal suspension in your
    favourite smoothie?

    The rocks that we do eat regularly, such as salt and alum, turn out to be
    bad for us in larger quantities and doctors advise us to cut down.

    I believe Birds "eat" rocks for digestive reasons,
    so why not :)

    But if google does send results from their AI, I think it is
    time for them to add clear warnings. I also heard google
    suggested one glue cheese to pizza to stop it from sliding
    off.

    They swallow them to hold in their crop. They take the place of teeth for mashing up the food before it goes to the stomach.

    It was Onion article originally, AI took it seriously because it was
    reprinted in other publications.
