Sorry, didn't mean to confuse by using the word "food" without defining it. What I meant by food was something that was widely recognized as an edible plant/animal, with nutritional value, not known to normally have toxic properties (excluding individual sensitivities and allergic reactions) at levels/dosages recognized as safe and usual.
