"شما همان چیزی هستید که چیزی که میخورید، میخورد."
— Michael Pollan
Simplified Meaning:
The idea here is that our health and well-being depend not only on what we eat but also on what the foods we eat consume. For example, if you eat a piece of fish, the nutrients you get from it depend on the quality of the environment the fish lived in and the food it ate. If the fish lived in clean water and ate healthy food, it will be nutritious for you. But if the fish lived in polluted water and ate unhealthy things, it might not be as good for you. Think of farmers growing vegetables. If they use good, natural compost and clean water to grow their vegetables, the plants will be healthier. But if they use harmful chemicals, the vegetables won’t be as nutritious. Similarly, if cows eat grass in a clean field rather than processed feed, the beef or milk you get from them will be better for you. Applying this to your own life means being mindful of where your food comes from and how it is produced. Choosing food that comes from well-treated animals or sustainably grown plants can make a big difference in your health. Just as you wouldn't put low-quality fuel in your car, you should fuel your body with the best quality food to stay healthy and strong.
