[quote=“gtaguy, post:9, topic:4218”][quote=“John Candlebury, post:7, topic:4218”]Well the morale thing is nice and makes sense. And I like it alot.
However nutrition being lowered doesn’t, not because you have only eaten meat for the last two weeks will your body become less efficient at digesting it; sure you’ll certainly get sick from it if you did it but that’s not the best way to simulate it.[/quote]
If you are plain sick of meat, you aren’t going to want to eat it. So when you are forced to, you remove ‘every’ little bad thing about the meat. If you haven’t had meat in a while you won’t mind the gristle and such. As such you would probably get proportionally less food from it. Or you character just throws some of the meat out being ‘full’[/quote]
Sure, you’ll do that if for example had a nice breakfast this morning (which of course consisted of nice cooked meat); but this is an apocalypse scenario thing and no one can afford to eat in the same way as we are accustomed to and you’ll be luck if you got to eat a good meal and a little snack everyday; and you are going to be hungry most of the time, and mind you not hungry of I didn’t ate my breakfast today, real hunger (Aka you haven eaten enough in 48+ hours) and once you are in that state you really don’t care if that piece of meat is all sinewy, greasy and full of veins; you only care about the fact that it is food and that you have it on your hands.
And sure you’ll not enjoy eating it, but you are going to eat itnonetheless.
