How eating frogs, dog-food, cat-food and raw monkey meat makes us better designers We frowned upon any weird food, and our sub-conscious mind filters out what we do not perceive as “design-ish.” As the saying goes, “You are what you eat!” While the saying suggests healthy eating in the modern age, the French author, Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, actually said these words with an entirely different meaning: the human culture between food and identity.
