Kids keep eating lots of things. The “one way” to stop it: parenting. But even that doesn’t always work because kids are like… that. I’m sure that if you went 4000 years in the past, ancient toddlers would be putting stones and styli and tabula rasae in their mouths, and 4000 years from now they’ll be putting futuristic whatevers in their mouths. They’re toddlers. It’s what they do. Sometimes they’re magnets. In the future articles will read: Kids Keep Eating Dermal Regnerators— 5 Ways to Make Them A For-Profit Clinic or whatever

Wow, that last bit was a one sentence cyberpunk story.
