In the same way cars have doors, but a car isn't a door or house is made of wood, wood are made from trees but trees are not houses.

And houses are just places for our stuff.

BTW, I got shoes on, but I ain't walking.

That's the in-a-bottle relationship. The metaphysical constituent relationship is different. The water does become part of the celery.


Cars "have" doors. Celery "partly is" water. These relations are different.

You can have a bottle without water, a car without doors, a house without wood, but you cannot have celery completely without water.

Celery is partly made of water. As are humans. A percentage of the world's water is in celery. A percentage in humans.

and pretty soon we'll be fighting over it. (water)

I love the Cellar.

Similarly, you could ask, what percentage of the world's oxygen is water?

So, what percentage of the world's oxygen is celery?

The water resides within the celery's cell walls, it is not in solution and can be removed, for example:

If a grocer had a box with 100 pounds of celery that was 99% water and the next day the celery had lost so much water it was only 98% water how many blowjobs would the former Brianna have given for the correct answer.

IOW I reject your celery water conflation.

There exits desiccated powered celery.
Powered celery is celery
There is no water in powered celery.
Therefore celery can exists without water.

Would you say that mummified people are still people?

Powdered celery is a product derived from dead celery, but it is not in esse celery. Celery is a living thing, for starters.

is it still living when I'm eating it?

if it's not, is it no longer celery?

A maple tree is a tree, sawn into boards it is no longer a tree but it is now maple boards. Still maple, just not a tree.

When I eat bacon, I digest it, and it becomes one with my body. Am I bacon?
