Poll: If you never had to eat...

[Guitarmasterx7]

Ok so I'm just interested to see what the general consensus here is. Let's say hypothetically, you don't have to eat to live. You won't get hungry, you won't die of malnutrition. No semantics. Everything will be exactly the same except you won't suffer negative repercussions if you don't eat.

Eating would pretty much be exactly the same as well, it wont screw with your weird human photosynthesis or make you uncomfortably full forever, you just wouldn't need to do it anymore.

Under those circumstances, would you still eat even remotely often?

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Yes because burritos.

Have you ever had a burrito?

That shit is just delicious.

 

[Juste Goose]

Not really. Food costs money. Money I could spend on other things.

To be honest, I don't really enjoy food that much anyway.

 

[SuperUberBob]

Half the reason to go to a new place is to eat their food and drink their drinks. Why would you pass that up?

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Periodically, sure, but I'd definitely cook a heck of a lot less often. At the end of the day, no matter how much you love it, it's just another chore, and if I could make it something I only had to do if I wanted to, instead of because I needed to, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

[Queen Michael]

I'm addicted to candy, so yeah. But if I could quit that addiction, which would be easier if I didn't get hungry, then I'd never eat. I'd use the money for manga.

 

[MysticSlayer]

Only if the food is free and is being offered to me by someone I know. I don't feel like spending money and time on it if I don't need it...

OK, maybe I might eat on occasion. There is some truly delicious stuff out there that I don't think I would enjoy going without for too long.

 

[HoneyVision]

I'm a true Mediterranean hungus. I LOOOOOVE food. More than anything else. My favourite foods are hummus and cheese. Just any. Just gimme. Now.

There is very little food I DON'T enjoy eating. The family I grew up were ALL superb cooks and my dad is the best cook in the world. I know people like to show off about how great their mums' cooking is, but can any of your DADS actually cook?

I love food. hehe

 

[Bellvedere]

I'd probably still eat though I'd imagine it would be somewhat rare, like going out for a fancy meal or as a celebration. The time and money saved from not having to cook/eat every day would be too good.

I don't think I could justify eating meat though. As it is I feel a little guilty about it, but I have to eat and if I have to eat I'm going to enjoy it, and there's no enjoying eating like enjoying eating some form of delicious adorable animal (plus giving up meat would lead to a whole lot of other dilemmas - shoes, belts, feeding my dog, etc). But if the only benefit being derived from eating is the momentary pleasure of the taste whilst you chew it, then I think that it would be somewhat unnecessary to end an animals life just for that.

 

[White Lightning]

Probably not. Think of all the money you'd save, I mean I spend like $100 on Groceries a week.

 

[game-lover]

Oh absolutely. I probably wouldn't eat that often. Like if I'm feeling lazy or whatever.

I think I'd just eat whenever I got a craving. Maybe a week will pass then I'll see a commercial for pizza. So then I eat the pizza goodness. Maybe more time will pass until I see another commercial and then go and eat some of that.

And so on, forever and ever. Or maybe I'll just splurge on junk food. Either way...

 

[Headsprouter]

Hmmmm....so I never feel particularly full...I suppose that's as long as I still don't eat that much.

I suppose it depends on the food. Then again, food costs money. Even so, I like to eat while watching stuff in my YouTube subscriptions, to the extent to where it feels wrong not to, sometimes, so I might still eat regularly.

There's also boredom, it attracts one to pass the time by eating, and seeing as it's still pleasurable, probably, yeah.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

Absolutely. Food is amazing. If anything, I'd eat even more if there were no downsides to it. I'd sample every piece of food I could get my hands on.

 

[Mobax]

I would still eat, good food is one of the best things in life. There are so many delicious things to eat, I would never give up eating.

 

[Akytalusia]

fuck no. to stop eating is one of my ultimate goals in life. if i was granted this ability, i would take full advantage of it.

 

[Kaendris]

Why would I waste the money on food, the time preparing it, and accept the toxic damage 90% of it does to the body?

No, no I think I will pass.

 

[Olas]

I already eat more than I need to simply to avoid hunger, as do most people I assume. I might not eat as often anymore, and when I did eat it would be more like candy and desert and stuff, because it would be purely for recreation. But ya, I'd eat.

 

[King of Asgaard]

I'd severely cut down on eating, but I wouldn't stop entirely, because eating really good food is one of the great joys in life.

 

[Dimitriov]

Eating is one the most enjoyable things about being alive... seriously, really good food is as enjoyable as sex.

This question is just silly, and the people who said 'no' are making me sad

 

[Blaze the Dragon]

Hell yeah I'd still eat things for fun. Now if this were about sleep, hell I'd drop that in a heartbeat. Imagine having a whole extra 6 or more hours every day! I could spend that time eating more food!
