Rails: has_many through with polymorphic association – will this work?

You have to do:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :events
  has_many :meals, :through => :events, :source => :eventable,
    :source_type => "Meal"
  has_many :workouts, :through => :events, :source => :eventable,
    :source_type => "Workout"
end

This will enable you to do this:

p = Person.find(1)

# get a person's meals
p.meals.each do |m|
  puts m
end

# get a person's workouts
p.workouts.each do |w|
  puts w
end

# get all types of events for the person
p.events.each do |e|
  puts e.eventable
end
