I know a lot of people who are but they do not think, so I have the answer.

Oh, that's intriguing 'I am, therefore, I think' - I like it! Makes me wonder, if you are what you eat, do you eat what you are?

Thanks for weighing in on this one, Michelle. Here's a blast from the past for you: A legendary, but super-pushy and annoying sports announcer and writer named Howard Cosell, who made his name as Mohammed Ali's chronicler, was roasted before he passed away. One of those present said: "Howard. They say you are what you eat. Well, you must be eatin' garbage! ~ Gershon
