What's the difference between digestion and food?

Digestion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of digesting; reduction to order; classification; thoughtful consideration.
  • (n.) The conversion of food, in the stomach and intestines, into soluble and diffusible products, capable of being absorbed by the blood.
  • (n.) Generation of pus; suppuration.

Food


Definition:

  • (n.) What is fed upon; that which goes to support life by being received within, and assimilated by, the organism of an animal or a plant; nutriment; aliment; especially, what is eaten by animals for nourishment.
