pIvHa' be unhealthy (v) pIv be healthy (v)

Do we know whether these two verbs apply only to beings, or whether they can be used for i.e. a healthy lifestyle or healthy food?

There's a part of me that wants to translate "the food is healthy" as {pIvmoH Soj}, since it's the people doing the eating who are going to be in good healthy, not the food itself ({qagh} notwithstanding).

-SapIr At first glance that sounds like "functional food" (or whatever the correct term is) to me - food that is designed/intended to improve your health, not just food that doesn't help detiorate your body.

i.e. I'd imagine something along Yacult rather than an apple. Or maybe medicine? Christoph
