This rabbit hole led me to discover:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_cookie

Could anyone explain why people include mud in their food instead of eating only the nutritious parts without the mud? Is it only to feel fuller?

Sometimes it is only the mud. It is to feel literally anything. A crumbly sayisfying cookie makes your stomach stop hurting
