Taittariya	2.2.1: All beings that rest on the Earth are born verily from food. Besides, they live on food, and at the end, they get merged in food.

Prashna	1.14: Food is nothing but the Lord of all creatures. From that indeed issues that human seed. From that are born all these beings.
Prashna	2.10: O Prana, when you pour down (as rain), then these creatures of yours continue to be in a happy mood under the belief, Food will be produced to our hearts content.
