    The only one that makes a little sense is a craving for salt. Mammals need salt (the first known trade between bands of early man was in salt) and I wouldn't be surprised if we still have a remnant of that instinct. Otherwise it is woo.

    Saw that with a group of people on a juice only week - went mad for salted tomatoes on day 5 when they became available. Have seen the hypothesis that the reduction of salt in food may have a role in overconsumption too.
