Eating something (past tense eaten)
Eating is the only one of the
built-in actions which can, in effect, destroy something: the carry out
rule removes what's being eaten from play, and nothing in the Standard
Rules can then get at it again.
Note that, uncontroversially, one can only eat things with the 'edible'
either/or property, and also that, more controversially, one can only
eat things currently being held. This means that a player standing next
to a bush with berries who types EAT BERRIES will force a '(first taking
the berries)' action.
