That’s lifestyle not diet

It’s a figure of speech, since food is what you consume and what fuels you…

Interestingly enough, the etymology is more in step with OP's musings. But yes, today we think of the English word 'diet' as referring to food -- either to mean our usual eating habits, or a special restriction used for the purpose of losing weight.
Diet <= food eaten regularly / habitually <= a daily apportionment of food and labor <= 'a prescribed way of life' < 'way of life', regimen <=> diaeta
As an additional point of interest, by studying this I finally get where the phrase 'Diet of Worms' (the council of city named wurms) originates. diaeta => regimen => daily duty, assembly => council => Diet

Diet is not just what we physically eat but it's also includes what we absorb mentally from our environment. The process of absorption involves the reading, feeling, inhaling, looking even taste something that is all includes eating which not only builds our body but also our soul.

If you round out your diet with media, relationships, and vague concepts, you too can achieve a galaxy brain. It's all part of the 4 dimensional food pyramid.

This is the only remotely interesting thing about this entire post.

That's because either your literary skills are not developed enough to acknowledge not everything is taken literally or you are a classic "akkshuallly" attention-seeking redditor case

That means your vocabulary is stunted. You need to broaden your literary diet.

I think it makes no sense, not that I do not understand it.. it just doesn’t have any value…
You are jus using the world diet as a substitute for “stuff you consume”, and pretending that it’s a deep thought

So option B then. That's not what your original comment said.

There’s a pretty famous book called Infinite Jest bt David Foster Wallace that has this exact theme. What you consume makes you who you are.

Your diet literally is what you eat and not any of that other shit. Are those things important? Yes. Do they have anything to do with your diet? No.

Except that it isn’t.. your diet is just what you eat and drink…
Not saying that the rest are not important, just that they are not part of your diet.. which is a word with a very specific meaning
