Dirt

When one is hungry, tired, and sick, the simple things become revelations. For example, I was eating a banana today (the only thing I am allowed to eat right now) and started thinking about how crazy it is that this plant creates something edible for humans. Also, this food contains essential nutrients for the human body. As my body is very angry with me right now, I am super aware of what nutrients are lacking in me. Now, can someone please explain, if bananas were not made with intent and purpose by a designer, why we didn't decide to just evolve into only needing nutrients from dirt. There is an abundance of dirt on this planet. Why is it our systems require all kinds of complex foods and diets to balance a crazy system inside our own bodies so everything functions correctly? Mind blown. Yes, I am extremely tired and am sure this post will seem fairly  mundane when I reread it after a night of sleep. Or will it?
