On second thoughts, if it isn't obvious, you can ask me some basic questions to get you going! | ||

Is the thing some kind of object that you can manipulate and change into many things? Like dough? Is it up to you to make it what you want? Is it something that is eaten by a lot of people? I mean, is it conventionally accepted as food? Oh, and of course the obvious question : Is is H?A?M? or an object? Animal? | ||

HINT: Calling it 'it' is in itself misleading. It's obvious that no one word can define all those 6 statements. So look for something with different names referring to a common 'thing' | ||
| Noobdogg (Noobdogg)

MEGA HINT! : This is lateral thinking not literal thinking, so dont think of edible shadows that leave marks on paper, and occasionally paint while treasure hunting to uplift their country :-D ... would be helpful to know that it's merely the name of each variety that would give the impression of each individual statement like 'You can eat me' | ||

When you say different varieties, would that also mean different - types? brands? models? sub-categories? classes? Is the answer a (type of) vehicle? a (type of) weapon? Are these clues being interpreted correctly? You can eat/write with me - a type of food/writing tool that shares it's name with a variety of the thing. I'm a painter/pirate/patriot. - a famous painter/pirate/patriot whose name is the same as a variety of the thing. | ||

Sadly, completely IRR, but would have made a great puzzle. Anyhow, this is way closer to the approach I was hoping you would take... keep cracking!
