When is something NOT food?

[rickymouse]

Mate would love to agree with you but I don't.

Didn't eat once for a few days in Greece and it's amazing how long held 'principles' get thrown out of the window when it comes to the 'gnawing hunger"

If you don't believe me and have never experienced it then try it.

It's horrible lol and the addiction to 'food' is worse than any crackhead.

:It literally takes one week for any society to collapse.

For some reason, I can go without eating for two or three days.  I don't actually eat because I am hungry, I eat because I was told to eat or eat just because the wife needs to eat.  My oldest daughter is the same way, she goes a few days occasionally without eating with no hunger pains.

But I need my coffee, Without it I get energyless.  We stock some foods mostly to save money, stocking up on everyday foods and spices....and we have fourteen cans of coffee in stock right now, stock of coffee ranges from a low of ten to a maximum of eighteen cups on the shelves.  They are between twenty six to thirty two ounce cans.  The wife and I keep about ten to twelve months of food in stock for ourselves, but if something happened, it would only last us, my two daughters families, and my brothers family about three months with only eating what we need.  There are a lot of deer around, but they would pretty much all be hunted out by people around here in a month or two if something major happened.  There are more deer in the U.P of michigan than there are people living here.  People can keep a deer frozen during winter in a shed or garage.

I have the advantage of a low body temperature, which kind of means I digest things slower, and I can eat less and with longer time between eating, as long as the food is nutrient dense that I eat.
