The food we eat is not considered "new matter" in the strictest scientific sense. When we consume food, our bodies break it down and integrate its nutrients into existing biological structures, using it to create energy and maintain bodily functions. While the nutrients from food can lead to the growth and repair of tissues, they are derived from matter that already exists in the environment, thus adhering to the principle of conservation of mass.
