It's not silly to me at all. I have no clue what people mean when they say, "not right now, I'm not hungry" or, "no thanks, I just ate". Usually, I'm just happy when I haven't been scavanging for something to eat continuously. I can't imagine turning down food because I wasn't hungry. I guess that's the thing, I'm not at all eating because i'm hungry, I'm eating because that's kind of how I deal with life.

But you're right. If life isn't too terrible, I don't have as bad a problem with food. If I feel bored and stuck, then it's a major challenge.
