How much food do you eat?

[End]

I will never ever do that. I would get hungry, and hunger is a nasty little distraction from all things that are good in life.

Perhaps, but one of the biggest plagues in the modern world, in my eyes, is the general unwillingness to suffer for pretty much any reason. The hunger you suffer now will prevent health problems down the line that will cause you far much more and worse suffering when they manifest. Ironically, the avoidance of suffering now increases total suffering suffered during one's lifetime. Thus, why not suffer lightly now so that you may avoid suffering greatly later?
