Answers:
Certain foods provide certain nutrients!. You need nutrients to keep your energy up so your body doesn't slake off and wither away to something useless!.
Nutrients keep your blood moving, and your blood gives oxygen ot your bodies' cells, and if they die, you die!.
Other substances have certain chemicals that kill your bodies' defenses, and could sometimes choke you, which can lead to death!. If it is something that is not that big, it does little harm if it is able to go through your digestive system!. If you rdigestive system is blocked, then it can cause an infection that could harsly lower your bodies defenses and mabye kill you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Food provides us with the energy and nutrients that we need to keep the body healthy and active!. Nearly every process in the body is energy-dependent – so it’s essential we have a constant supply!. The four main reasons we need to eat: Development and growth, Body function, Physical activity and Supply of other nutrients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because foods have vital calories!. Calories, when consumed in good proportions, give you energy!. Even the energy to wake up in the morning comes from calories!. Calories and carbs and protein, all from food, make your organs work, too!. Even if did we eat something else, you would not be able to survive very long because of malnutrition!. hope that helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The same reason that a rocket scientists can't do the job of a geneticists!. It is due to specialization!. The more specialized you become at something, then the more time you haven't spent learning how to do other things!. The same goes with food!.
We humans evolved/were created so that we could utilize the resources around us which were the most abundant to us and would yield that highest digestion/energy cost ratio!. You can actually eat anything that you want!. It is just that you will use up more energy digesting the substance than you will gain from digesting it!.
We also evolved so that we would not eat other things (such as tree bark) because that would harm the trees that we used for shelter!. Before you reply with "But we cut down so many trees for lumber" remember that that wasn't always the case!. Damaging some things means destroying the homes or food of the very food that we eat!. Thus evolving to eat tree bark just wouldn't not have been a wise genetic move!.
Another reason is that some things just don't have any energy to them!. Rocks just don't contain sparks of energy that our stomach and intestines can pound into energy!. Just the same as putting plain old water into your gas tank will just make it sick!. Water lacks the energy needed to be fuel for cars!.
Lastly, some things don't want to be eaten!. So they create defenses!. Such as thorns, scales/spikes, venemous bites, fluids that make us sick (e!.g!. puke berries)!. also, the substances we discard as waste, are abundant in some creatures/plants!. Excess carbon, Nitrogen and even bacteria such as Ecoli are discarded by us as waste and some creatures need lots of it to live!. They have simply evolved in a different way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

because our bodies need fuel to keep going, you can compare humans to cars, like cars humans need fuel (food) and produces waste (toxins ejected by the body)!.!.!.without food you'll die!. you can bio engineer your body to make it thrive on solar energy just like plants :) (this is SCI FI but it would be great if such a thing was ever going to happen)Www@FoodAQ@Com
uh, because pretty much anything you can eat is considered food!. so your question pretty much cancels itself out!.
