you are what you eat
Food shapes identity
The idea that the food you consume shapes your health, body, and character.
The phrase encourages mindful eating: nutritious food makes a healthy person, while junk food does the opposite.
Sometimes used more literally about how dietary choices become physical reality: I've been eating garbage lately—you are what you eat.
