You hear it as a joke when you’re young, but it’s not til you’re old that you realize “you are what you eat” is literal.
Almost all of you was food at one point.

Literally all of you was either food/drink or oxygen from the air at some point—whether it was consumed by you or by your mother.

Unless you have dental fillings or other implants.

I don’t get it. Is this a joke about “swallowing” ?

I don’t think so, more like you are built of nutrients you get from food you eat so technically you are the food you ate.

Thanks, maybe I should sometimes get my mind out of the gutter

Oh like all of the material of your body was food, at first I thought you just had really bad grammar and meant “all of you” meaning allb of us readers or something and all the comments were just keeping up the bit
