Answer: dogs eating dirt.
No one knows exactly why some dogs eat what they do. Although you guess is most probably on the right track. There are minerals in the ground, that may be lacking in the diet. Dependant on the breed it may also be a habit / trait of the breed. I would suggest switching to a new brand of food and looking at purchasing some new time consuming toys for your pooch.
