Fingernails are made of a special kind of protein called keratin, the same kind of stuff that a cow's hoofs and horns are made of. There are many different kinds of proteins. You need the protein of meat or milk or plant seeds in your diet. But don't chew your fingernails. You can't digest the keratin protein. Keratin is made of dead cells, so is your hair and your first layer of skin! It sounds gross, but I wouldn't change it, though!
