You are good enough to eat

Meaning and where this comes from?

quite worrying really...my grandmother used to tell me that she could eat me....I will watch this space.

Good enough to eat is an expression that signifies - just as a fancy cake or some sweets look good enough to eat, so a person, usually a small child or baby is so beautiful that they look good enough to eat. Grandparents say it to and about their grandchildren. Go figure!
