Methods to deal with hunger
Hunger is good and necessary. It nudges us with the gentle voice of a nagging mother towards survival. But sometimes it can be annoyingly standing in the way of what we try to accomplish.

Please keep in mind that despite all progress and the readily available food of today’s age (in most areas of the world) hunger is still an important mechanism for survival. We recommend that you treat it with the respect the billions of its evolutionary history command and act responsibly.
