• You are What You Eat

Maura: The first expression is you are what you eat.

Harp: You are what you eat.

Maura: Yes. You are what you eat. And this just means exactly what it says.

Harp: You are what you eat: If you eat something healthy, you’re healthy.

Maura: Right. So what it wants to say is that what you eat reflects how healthy you are. So if you eat vegetables and fruit and good grains for you, then you will have good health. But if you eat a lot of potato chips and chocolate bars, then that might not be very good for your health.

Harp: Yes. I’ve known of this expression since I was young, you are what you eat. When I was young, I would remember my mom saying it to me, “Harp, remember, you are what you eat.” And I would say, “What am I, a cucumber? What am I, french fries?”

Maura: Yeah. As a kid, you take it completely literally.
Obviously, if you eat an apple, you don’t become an apple, but if you eat an apple, that’s a healthy choice so that would mean that you’re probably a healthy person.
