OK, maybe I missed something here, but are we actually talking about eating "dirt"?

Well. Yes. But no. We're turning it into mud and then drinking it. At least, I am. It's actually really good for you. Nasty and gritty as hell, but it's good for you...

The "dirt" is actually fossilized remains of a long dead micro-organism... this micro-organisms physical make-up turns it essentially into a micro-sized cheese grater. The cheese being the nasties inside your body.
