Humans can eat Salt (Sodium Chloride) and Chalk (otherwise known as Calcium carbonate)
Common salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite.
