"You’ve probably heard the saying, ‘If you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat anything.’ But is that really true? Science, history, and even reality TV (Survivor, anyone?) tell a very different story. Food fatigue, psychological barriers, and digestive issues all prove that hunger alone isn’t enough to make people eat unfamiliar or unappetizing food—even in survival situations." "In this episode, I’m breaking down why this myth is dangerous for food storage planning and what you can do right now to make sure your food storage actually works for your family!"
🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Why the Minnesota Starvation Experiment proves food fatigue is real
✔️ How Survivor contestants struggle with hunger, yet still refuse certain foods
✔️ Why kids and elderly adults are the most likely to reject unfamiliar food
✔️ How food storage can fail if it’s built around “survival foods” instead of real meals
✔️ Simple ways to make sure your food storage is actually usable
🔹 Key Takeaways:
✅ Food fatigue is real—people lose their appetite if they eat the same food repeatedly.
✅ Even starving people refuse food—history and research prove it!
✅ Sudden diet changes can cause digestive distress—your body isn’t used to new foods overnight.
✅ Your family’s food storage should match what they already eat—store what you eat and eat what you store!
