That's because I don't think God does things haphazardly for no reason, and I think this also applies to all the talk about eating in scripture.

But even if your point is true (containing some objective validity), then sitting here typing about the "which got into them" might well be an out-welling of "which got into them" and not any closer to "the leaves for the healing of the nations" - or the fruit! - of Revelation 22:2. And any talk of 'eating' which resolutely (so it seems to me) ignores Jesus' own talk of 'my food' in John 4:24 doesn't seem like having a validity of any real application. It's a talk, a book, a pamphlet.
