Starvation can teach you a lot about the bare minimum of food that is required for normal to active lifestyles. Nutrition finds new sources. I've had my moments. There's a kind of flower I remember eating back home. It had a potato flavour. But I was well fed and merely curious. But those are the kinds of things people eat when they are starving. And it can get worse. Take the prisoners marching off to the Siberian gulag. No more foliage. Just trees. The guard turns to them and says, 'What do you mean there's no food?' And, pointing, says, 'There's plenty of bark on that poplar over there!' Pets go missing in times of starvation. The animals are the first to disappear, apparently, in prolonged military sieges. Then the foliage. Finally, the wallpaper. So I've read. I know it's kind of silly, but I'm proud of my being able to have so much energy when I seem to snack on biscuits or chips for days on end. I think I've trained my body.
