Gravel, sand and dust don't seem to be too edible.

Not for humans. Many other organisms happily consume them.

No organisms consume inorganic gravel, sand or dust for life support. There is no organic energy in these materials.

Your organisms would require little nuclear reactors in their guts to release the energy in sand. They would also crap glass pellets...cute.
