English language, little help

November 10th, 2013

Can anyone explain to me, what does it mean if I say: “It’s immaterial to me what you put in your mouth, darling, because I can tell FROM THE STATE OF YOU that you’re going…” so what does “from the state of you” mean? Is it like “after looking at you, I can say that”, “I know you, so I can say that” hmm? Thanks in advance.
Answer #1
“From the state of you”, is like saying “from what you look like”.
“It’s immaterial to me what you put in your mouth, darling, because I can tell FROM THE STATE OF YOU that you’re going…” actually sounds pretty derogatory, although if it’s a friend it may be different.
Answer #2
It is taken from an essay about vegetarianism, and yeah, actually it is pretty derogatory if you would have read it whole. Thank you very much for the help!
