The $2 Challenge - Day 4

There are two competing desires in eating... hunger and savour. When our food resources are limited, we focus more on satisfying hunger: feeding the body so it is resourced for the day's events and nourished at its end. In the normal course of events, this desire is balanced with that of taste: what would I "like" to eat tonight? What do I "feel" like eating?

All of the children have commented that, although they have not been underfed, they find themselves desiring other tastes which are denied them. Seeing other children with all that they have is difficult.
