Get hungry enough—truly, desperately hungry—and all that pickiness evaporates. You’ll eat anything. It’s no longer about taste or preference. It’s about one thing: the will to live. That’s hunger and thirst at their purest. Not a desire for food and water themselves, but a desire to survive. Now here’s the problem: when we fill ourselves with addictive substances, and in our ultra-processed world, it’s almost impossible not to, we lose even that. Our eating and drinking becomes about eliminating discomfort, not sustaining life. We’re not pursuing vitality; we’re just scratching an itch.
