You cannot own food. You can purchase it, temporarily delay its decay, cook it, share it, consume it, but you don’t at any point own it. Food is a lease agreement with nature. And you will eventually give it all back in some form or another.
I know it’s not technically correct but I just feel weird like if somebody opens my fridge and says “is that your watermelon?”. No, I am a temporary steward of it.
The real reason you can’t have cake and eat it too, is because you can’t own cake. You only ever rented it.

I think science would agree with you, since that basically is the law of conversation of mass.
Ownership isn’t a scientific concept though. It’s a social construct which never depended on permanence.
