So if you are what you eat, if you made sweet potatoes a staple of your diet, then you could truly say, “I yam what I yam and that’s all what I yam!”

You can make bread of oats…

And corn is a member of poaceae as well.

Potatoes are toxic, but sweet potatoes (american yams) are quite good for you!

So if we used seeds from the hemp plant (I mean the fibrous subspecies, not the pharmacologically active subspecies) as a nutrition source, I suppose that would make us hard-working with a great range of usefulness, vigorous, resilient, and minimally demanding upon that which sustains us. (Hemp monocropping is less hard on the soil when the leaves, which have no other potential use, are composted and returned to the soil.)

And there’s also the grain-like vegetables, namely corn and potatoes or yams.

Among the animists, it is believed that everything has a viable, conscious, motive force. It can be said that everything has an agenda of its own. People act like people, dogs act like dogs, etc.

When you eat, you take that energy into yourself. You become what you eat. With a diverse diet, you are many things. You are part of the world.

What about those who eat mostly grass? Let’s see… it’s a plant that likes to grow primarily in disaster areas. It expands as quickly as possible, sacrificing its health for the next generation (hence why its seeds are so nutritious).

Hm. Do we know any cultures that act like that?

Heh.
