And I think we all know that a 'smile' is not a body part, so the banana must be good for something else. Probably the same thing that rhino horn is good for. (another famous coincidence)
I also don't 'Kidney beans' were mentioned.

As I said originally, when you pick and choose from two sets and look for similarities/connections, then it is not really co-incidence, it is the design of the person making the connections.
If you give me a bag of coloured marbles, and I pick out the ones that match the colour of my clothes, is it coincidence? I think not.
In fact most events that we label coincidence are a case of us seeing and picking out patterns in random events, then making the error of thinking they have occurred at an unexpectedly high frequency because we ignore all the events that did not contain a noticeable pattern.
If someone had given you the list of foods and not told you which body parts they are good for but to still match them up with parts they look like, you would not have made the same list of similarities.

I don't know of anything revealed in the Holy Bible that would lead me to believe that. Of course, this is just my opinion at the moment. It does not mean I could not change my mind in the future.

True, though we who have come to know its author (and attributes) may make a reasoned application to this manifestation.

God made innumerable fruits and vegetables and salad greens and wheat and rice and fish and fowl and various colored meats and vineyards with all manner of grapes and farmyard creatures for dairy and eggs, some of which would be edible and others toxic or poisonous. Why not relate the food to the body part it would benefit as a matter of design completion? Several here and on Facebook messaged questions; one posted, "Incredible". Apparently these people have little appreciation for the Omniscience, Omnipotence and Immutabily of the person who created the universe and gave them life itself. He didn't make disposable human beings and took steps to insure the perpetuation of the human race. God has self awareness and self determination, even with the design and recognition of food and its applicable benefit.
