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?
im not ashamed. why would I be ashamed of thinking about things in unfamiliar ways and trying to see what's behind it?
you should be ashamed for being so condescending. maybe you're so embarrassed because you identify way too strongly with your thoughts that you can't tolerate having a bizarre one.
