Answer 7

If you eat healthy whole foods you will be nourished by whole foods. If you eat junk food and processed "non-foods/drug-foods" then your body is nourished (not) by these same non-foods. There are no living enzymes in them, so your body is improperly nourished.

Answer 8

What everyone else said is correct, but I just had to add my two cents, lol. I first heard that saying when I was in middle school. Every Friday we had a snack shack type of thing, and you could buy candy, soda, & popcorn there. I bought some Nerds candy, and I continued eating them until I got into class. My history teacher looked at me and said-

"You are what you eat!" and he started laughing. I sooo didn't get it until my best friend explained it to me! Haha!

Answer 9

I mean nothing by it, it's a weird saying.

you really want to be a cow, pig, chicken?

How about being a vegetable?  Fruit, nut, flake (get the CA joke?).

Being called a food is strange.  Organic?  yes, we're made of carbon.  All-Natural?  Until you had plastic surgery.

Then again, some people like the you eat healthy, you are healthy idea that goes with it.  But some people are healthy because they're too cheap to spend money on junk food (me).

Like I said, weird saying.

Answer 10

what you eat, is the personality you've got.

for example:

you eat fattty foods, well you're not actually fat but you're going to be fat.

Answer 11
