Discussion What Is Food?

So, I had this weird thought in my mind, and wanted to ask.

What is considered food? Is it anything that is edible or is it a designated type of item that we can eat? The dictionary definition is 'any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth.'

However, do you view a computer as a piece of food? After all, you will get at least a bit of nutirents from the substance....

So, I think the definition is a bit flawed. Tell me your thoughts on food.

 

your threads and @Napelynn are driving me crazy

 

Hmm... this is definitely food for thought.

 

The human body is incapable of absorbing any kind of nutrients from a computer....... In fact there are many poisonous substances so it definitely doesn't fit in the definition of food desu~

 

You asked what is food but have you even considered asking how is food?

 

Food is doing pretty well in my belly........desu~

 

well... I'm glad to know that even food could develop Stockholm syndrome

 

Long story short, a computer is not eatable. Even if it contains things that should be eatable doesn't mean your body can break it down.

 

Source please desu~

since it does not provide you with nutrients, it ain't food

 

If it’s delicious its food

 

They say poison tastes sweet desu~

 

It provides you at least a tiny bit of nutirents. Sure, you'l get poisoned, but hey, some mushrooms are also poisionous.

 

Plastic, metal and Silicon compounds. That's a no desu~ Also you only get nutrients if something reaches your small intestine and you'll probably die before that so again a no desu~

 

The chemicals will give you a bit of nutrients and then kill you, tho. The nutrients are miniscule, bit they're still there!

 

Is paper food?

 

you are really taking "everything is edible. the question is how many times you can eat it" to heart lol

 

Used to be when it was initially discovered desu~ (Although preferably do not eat it)
Now-a-days there are too many chemicals that are harmful desu~

 

But that's literally what 'food' means.
