Eating vs. Consuming

You know how they say "you are what you eat"?  Well, I think that an even more proper way of putting it is "you are what you consume".  Some of you may be thinking, "Does this not mean the same thing?"  To answer your question, no, it does not.  You see, eating is one thing, but consuming is an entirely different manner.  When you eat you are literally taking food and putting it in your mouth to nourish yourself.  Consuming is not a word used solely with food.  Consuming can be towards tons of different things.  For example, what kind of music is your ears consuming?  What kind of movies and images are your eyes consuming?  If Jesus were to know (which He does) what you let your body consume, would He be proud?  Well, it really depends, I suppose.  You see, when you consume something it is generally inserted into your brain, and lots of people with really good memories (unlike me with most manners) consume lots of things each day and remember them fully.  I guess what things you watch, see, hear, or read sometimes effects who you are.  Anyway, needless to say, doing things that effect you positively is always a good idea.  I must depart now.
