>>So when we receive Communion, we actually participate in the body and blood of Christ, not just eat symbols of them.<<

LOL The Greek word in your quote "participate" is "koinónia" which according to Strong's means: "2842 koinōnía (a feminine noun) – properly, what is shared in common as the basis of fellowship (partnership, community)."

When you "share in fellowship" with others do you also eat them?
