just had a nice read of your post but am a bit confused. TOTALLY DOES MEAN COMPLETELY and EXACTLY DOES MEAN PRECISELY. I think you might also mean ( would NO doubt have been nice and glossy ) instead of ( NOT AND GLOSSY ) but lets not quibble. whether I agree or not the post is interesting.

We don’t need the Large Hadron Collider, we have Anonymousey the element generator. Must get this person into a laboratory. Hook this person up and figure it out.

Well, my title did say “I am not what I eat” didn’t it?” But, how can you emit more of something than you take in, where are you getting those extra N atoms from?

Right, except I consume more carbon-14 than I am, and I emit more nitrogen than I consume.

Well, we agree AnonyMousey, that title was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but there is, of course, a lot of truth in the phrase “you are what you eat”. Generally, we eat complex combinations of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and a few other atoms and those are the main elements from which we are composed, right?

You aren’t what you eat. Cows eat grass and grain. But cows are in the meat food group. Eating meat doesn’t count as a vegetable. And although cows don’t eat fat they have fat. Eating beans does not make you full of beans and eating fat is not what causes fat.

Mina, I’m not purely what I eat. I am also partly what I breathe and partly what I drink. And I drink a lot. ;-)

You are indeed what you eat. Precisely what that is, however, is the mystery. ;)

Heheheh, I’ve got some computer games and gender gap stuff lined up for next week to save you from the food and drink.

All these food and drink posts are sharpening my appetite! But I’ll wait until I get home. I’d rather wait to eat good stuff later than jam cheap crap in my face immediately.
