My whole life I’ve been told, “You are what you eat!” When I was a kid, I thought it meant that I’d grow up to be a cheeseburger or a chocolate cupcake. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that, but it didn’t stop me from eating cheeseburgers and chocolate cupcakes, so I guess I didn’t worry too much about it.
Of course, now I know what it means: that the food you put in your body plays a key role in determining how you look and feel, which is why it’s important to include plenty of healthy options in your diet (like watermelon!).
If you literally became what you ate, the diet of the guy in the photo on the right would be pretty obvious. The photo is called “straaange days…” and was created by a Flickr user named urline.
I guess if you had to choose a food to look like, a watermelon isn’t a bad choice. The gentleman in this picture seems to have made his peace with his new appearance. Maybe he met a lady who also likes watermelon, and they hang out and eat watermelon together. Maybe they tell watermelon jokes and laugh until their watermelon sides hurt. And maybe – just maybe – they go to Gallagher shows and watch him smash watermelons with his sledgehammer. Actually, they probably wouldn’t do that. That’s just silly.
