"This cabbage, these carrots, these potatoes, these onions ...
will soon become me.
Such a tasty fact!"
- Mike Garofalo
"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."
- Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
"Your body is a field of energy, transformation and intelligence made out of the food you eat. A sugar molecule in the apple you ate at lunch yesterday may be a part of you stomach lining today. An amino acid from the side order of cottage cheese you ate may be a fiber in your bicep muscle. An iron molecule from you spinach salad may already be part of the hemoglobin in one of you red blood cells. You become what you eat.
One of the four things happens to every molecule you ingest: (1) it is transformed into a structural part of you body; (2) it is used for energy; (3) it is stored for possible future use; or (4) it is eliminated."
- Deepak Chopra and David Simon. Grow Younger, Live Longer. 2001, p. 64.
