It’s better in German as it’s a pun: Der Mensch ist, was er isst . The English translation is a bit non-pc as it means “Man(kind) is what it eats”, so women are what they eat too. Actually it’s a more profound statement than any of ours on this thread. As the cells in the human body completely renew themselves over a period of time the material to renew them can only come from what we eat. Which, incidentally, is why vegans have to consume vitamin and other supplements to ensure this takes place properly.
But I thought we’d agreed that we had exhausted this subject.
