non-living matter becomes living matter everytime you eat. Presuming you do not eat live fauna. what you don’t end up pooping out has been incorparated into the living matter that is you or the living matter that is your gut flora and fauna.

of course I’ll leave it as an exercise for the astute Vitalist to determine how one actually goes about distingishing living matter from non-living matter in a consistent, and repeatable way. for the rest of us non-vitalists, it’s a distinction without a difference.
