Food or fuel is anything consumed to be transformed to other form and or energy, energy which is arguably another form.

Being a consumer I can be very fussy about my intake and the process of acquisition is also something I acquire.

I can't remember my thoughts from there to some other place but it paused at Feedback. I assessed that what ever I get, as a consequence of choice is feedback and that what is fed back to me, is solely of my doing.

Feedback no more comes from another person than the ball that bounces from a wall. That I know too few of the properties of the ball and the wall to anticipate the rebound that results, in being hit by the rebound, originates in my action of throwing the ball at he wall. It makes no sense then to criticise the ball or wall for the properties they are bound to express when put under such force as I choose.
