    I couldn't help but think of this Genesis classic while reading this thread.
    Young man says 'you are what you eat' - eat well.
    Old man says 'you are what you wear' - wear well.
    You know what you are, you don't give a damn;
    bursting your belt that is your homemade sham.
    
    Genesis - "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight"
