I don't follow your logic here at all, especially WRT honey. Why does
the 'long shelf life' of honey disqualify it as a good culinary food?

Sperm is 'close to our hearts'? And comparing mother's milk to
honeydew? I don't think so.
Both are comfort foods. I think that's where the saying comes from.
Essential, basic foods that bring comfort and fullness, quelling
hunger.
