food = body


Food builds the body.
So, extending upon the previous post, if i was to reference the stripped back, purest body, food would play a huge part.


what is food? isn't it just a bunch of ingredients?
what are ingredients- where do they come from?
the earth.
what makes the earth? decayed life, human bodies.

 what constructs the body?

food. and restraint.





"... food's unique ability to 'become' the body that consumes it... it only fully becomes itself (as food opposed to garbage) if it is eaten."
Waskul, D; Vannini, P; 2006; Body/Embodiment: symbolic interaction and the sociology of the body; Ashgate Publishing. p 204-5
