Hear me out. There’s nothing innate to an object that makes it “food”. It’s an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that’s edible “food”. Does that make it a social construct?

    I’ve been fairly polite in this thread but I’m tempted to call you stupid. I won’t

    That’s a lot of words to just call someone stupid and try to get away with it
