There is such a proverb

 There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison.
  Paul Goodman

 Poison is their food, and poison is their dress, they fill their mouths with morsels of poison.

 Scriptural lessons not put into practice are poison; a meal is poison to him who suffers from indigestion; a social gathering is poison to a poverty stricken person; and a young wife is poison to an aged man.
  Chanakya

 Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.

 Official U.S. government policy in the Clinton administration is to grow food chain crops --the food supply of America -- on poison. And not to tell the public.

 Consumed by desire, they have no understanding at all. They purchase poison, and they are thirsty with their fascination for poison. Telling lies, they eat poison.

 They abandon the Ambrosial Nectar and turn to poison, they earn poison, and poison is their only wealth.

 What is food to one man is bitter poison to others.

 What is food to one, is to others bitter poison.

 Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.
  Walter Bagehot

 Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction

 Outstanding. Even though he's still feeling a little bit under the weather from the food poison, he threw the baseball very well. He'll be good to go on Friday.
