Do you believe in "We are what we eat"?

I sometimes wonder about it, ??? since most peole in my place believe it.
And somehow i believe it, since i have been told the proof :)
Now i want to ask you, the title explain it.

If I was what I ate I'd be a rubbish tip, so no.[me=hYpNoS]eats empty chip boxes as a party trick[/me]

Okay, to people who doesn't really understand:
The definition we are what we eat means we behave like what we eat everyday I mean the raw ingredient.

I don't believe in it,
I eat much pork and I think I don't behave like a pig.
And I hope I never will. :)

You don't behave from all of it's behavior, just some of them.

what proof? why not share it?i most defiantly don't take any behavioral aspects from my food and i've never seen anyone else.

So if i eat a cowdunk, i will in someways behave like a cowdunk.Is that right?

i also don't quite get how you can gain behavioral aspects off of a carrot.maybe that's why vegans are all very dull people :P

I don't know where you got that idea. That's not what the meaning behind it is.The meaning behind the phrase is you get out of your diet what ever it is you put in. If you eat healthy, you will be healthy. If you don't eat healthy, you will not be healthy.It has nothing to do with behaving like the food items you consume.The first site that I found which explains the idea behind the phrase:
http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/you%20are%20what%20you%20eat.htmlAnd it is absolutely true. There is no denying that what you eat has a huge effect on your mental and physical health.

You tell me how does rice normally acts and I'll tell you if I act like rice :P

If that's the true meaning of that phrase then I agree with it.
