Define what you mean by ``eat the sun.''  If you mean the solar body
commonly refered to as the Earth's Sun (one of the focii about which
this planet orbits), and you mean consuming it orally its entirety,
then I agree.  However, a lot of the planet's energy comes from the
Sun, and indeed, it's commonly agreed that without said star, life on
this planet would not exist.  Therefore, nearly everything you consume
(which is typically organic in nature) contains energy from the Sun.
Therefore, any time you eat anything organic (assuming it originated on
this planet), you are in effect eatting part of the Sun, though
indirectly.

> (It may be possible to eat a SUN workstation, but that's not what I mean.)

But I bet it'd give you one hell of a stomach ache....
