I know you're being facetious but I wanted to say, a friend of mine's kid recently got diagnosed with elevated lead levels in his blood, likely caused by eating contaminated dirt from their backyard. So... test before you try it, I guess?

My kids love to play in sand, and one time I found my kid playing with "rocks" in the sand before realizing it was a favorite shitting ground for the neighborhood cats
lead in the soil? where do they live, a slag heap?
Lead used to be in paint and gasoline, so the top soil of entire cities were adulterated with lead in the last century.
