An overwhelming majority of what we eat is made from plants and animals. This means that composition of our almost entire food is chemicals from the realm of organic chemistry (carbon-based large molecules). Water and salt are two prominent examples of non-organic foodstuffs - which come from the realm of inorganic chemistry. Beside some medicines is there any more non-organic foods? Can we eat rocks, salts, metals, oxides… and I just don’t know that?

    I thought that you made meth in your basement? Jesse, we need to cook!

    Jokes aside, it’s nice for me to discuss Chemistry too. Without going too much into details, Chemistry was part of my life for a long time, and I miss it quite a bit.
