Carbon is the second most abundant atom in the body (the first is oxygen). All organic things are comprised of carbon. Now, taking as true the old maxim that matter cannot be created or destroyed, it follows that the body's primary source of carbon is food - after all, that's the only major organic matter entering the body. Since all organic (i.e. living) things are comprised of carbon, and our food is all from living matter (unless you happen to eat rocks, which I doubt), this means that our meals provide more or less all of our carbon intake.
