Someone should tell them they need to eat the food, unless you are talking about aged plants, of course.

It's time to grow-up folks and start acting like responsible adults.
What utter bollocks.

I remember an Italian thriller on TV, an aged Italian man was moaning that he cannot eat a juicy orange any more. (Because he would harm himself, this was the implied meaning.)

I think somewhere in the Republic an aged man complains about the same thing. That he cannot eat and enjoy like he used to.

When your organs grow older or even weary after so many years of hard work they do not process the food properly so you have to be careful what you can eat at all.
There is a contemptuous saying in Italian, a slight to an elderly person: Broglia ti un brodo. = Cook yourself a chicken soup.
Because an elderly person needs delicate and nourishing food like a sick person.
