Pica is eating things that are not food, but as pointed out in the article I linked, eating dog poo is providing a significant source of nutrition for foxes. In those circumstances, it by definition is not pica.
No need to make personal attacks. Cecotrophy is a common phenomenon in certain animals. I don’t know specifically about foxes but it wouldn’t be a stretch if it was common behavior for them. Do you have any sources that suggest otherwise?
Herbivores taking more time to digest greenery is really not related to eating the poo of another animal due to nutritional deficiency. It’s a silly comparison.

Poo is not food, I’m extremely concerned that you’ve got to adulthood without anyone telling you this. Do not eat poo.
