Why waste valuable clay when you can just sell homeopathic remedies?

Not hurting anyone…

Um Clay would have an effect. Use powdered sugar and simply compress them into a pill. This is literally one way they do already make placebos in pill form. You can buy a pill press on amazon

Sugar isn’t great for diabetics. Wouldn’t clay just pass through as it has no nutritional value.

Well sure but you could use other household ingredient that aren’t contaminated with whatever might be in your soil.
It was intentional that i said it’s one way they already make placebos in pill form.
It entirely is only important if you care about hiring people and not just stealing from them

People eat clay sometimes. IIRC its a famine thing used to bulk out actual food to make it feel slightly more filling.
Pills are tiny. Wtf do you think the soil is contaminated with?
