Immediate issues with the specifics:
- Even the most common variety of tomato has between three and five chambers, not just four. Other breeds have between two and ten.
- You have to cut a carrot to even make one side of it look like a picture of an eye, and even then it's a creepy orange eye. Once you're shaping these foods yourself like this, their natural appearance is irrelevant.
- Carotene gives tomatoes and carrots their health benefits and their colour. If God's trying to draw us to healthy foods by making them red or reddish, why are most poisonous berries the same colour?
- Blood cells aren't round like grapes, they're flattened and pitted like a Strepsils tablet.
- The stalks of celery, bok choy and rhubarb can look like the long, thin bones in our arms and legs. That's just 12 out of the 206 bones of all shapes and sizes in the human body.
- Who decided that garlic is a "working companion" to onions, and how does the appearance of onions link to the benefits of garlic?
What makes me suspicious about these claims, beyond the inaccuracies above, is the recurring non-references to scientific research: "science shows...", "research shows...", "we know that..." and so on. No links to any actual work done by anybody. Though much of what's said is likely correct, we're expected to believe it from this email alone.
The real problem here is naked confirmation bias. Every one of these foods has a long list of benefits all over the body (the kidney bean, for instance, could sustain you all by itself for ages), and every body part mentioned has a multitude of foods which are good for it and yet look nothing like it. Pick the most interesting twenty out of the innumerable billions of combinations, and you've got an amazing list. View it in the context of the whole of the human body and the whole of the fruit and vegetable family, and it's just an amusing highlight reel.
Coincidences happen, and we notice them. Next to the infinite coincidences that do not happen, and we therefore don't usually consider, they are often insignificant. That's the case with "God's Pharmacy" here.
