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?

Maybe this is why people are freaking out. “If food is a social construct, then I’ll start eating mold!” Yeah, and I’m the one who’s stupid and crazy. I’m actually really astounded by how much people are reading their own bullshit into this.
