YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT Me: Fresh Idiot (kinki) 新鮮傻瓜魚 $4.50/LB

What it means

A vegetable arrangement spells “YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT,” followed by a fish-market sign labeled “Fresh Idiot (kinki).” The joke is a literal and absurd interpretation of the saying, with the speaker identifying as an “idiot” fish. It is sent as a self-deprecating reaction to admitting foolishness.
