I was watching our dog, Gaja, eat from her bowl and the thought of hunger came to mind. Gaja is a large dog. She is nine years old, resembles a Golden Retriever in shape, but is about three times the size and is all black. She is beautiful and very intelligent.
So, how does one know hunger with out ever really feeling it. Sure, I didnt eat today, so I am hungry, but is that what true hunger feels like as well? The way we see hunger differs from one person to another. If I see someone skinny, bare boned, I feel bad, because to me, that is HUNGER. But, I am not sure if because that extremely skinny boy or girl has never been trully full and satisfied, they are hungry.
You get used to what you know. When ten grams of re-hydrated beans fills you up you may still look skinny, but are you hungry - not mal-nourished, but hungry??
Just a thought I had - sorry if I scared you!
