      No. In the same way that my cat doesn’t turn into a mouse when he catches and eats mice, and you don’t taste better covered in tomato sauce after you’ve eaten a plate of chips. 😉

      You are’t what you eat. All biological creatures (us included) are made from the same building blocks, so really the phrase should be “you are everything else”.
