“You are what you eat. So don’t be fast, cheap, easy or fake”
“You are what you eat. So don’t be fast, cheap easy or fake” is a saying that has been printed on many images. Authorship is unknown. “If we are what we eat, I’m fast, cheap and easy” is an earlier saying (from at least 1998).
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), in the book Physiologie du Gout (1825), wrote “Tell me what you eat, and I shall tell you what you are,” often interpreted as “you are what you eat.” This was figurative and not meant literally; one does not become an apple or a donut or a “skinny person” by eating such things.

If you are what you eat, then you must eat a ton of fast food… because you’re cheap, fast, and easy.

I saw this great line written: you are what you eat so don’t be fast, easy, cheap or fake. I think it’s a good mantra for everything in life.
