> even if your body has had more than enough food to sustain itself for a whole week.

For reference, that amount of food is zero. You're already set for the week.

Animals don't operate like cars where they're constantly on the verge of death.

To sustain itself... at the same rate it usually does (body fat, muscle...). My comment was extremely easy to grasp. Instead, you twisted what I wrote, clinging to a stupidly literal interpretation of it, and came up with a ridiculous reply, riddled with straw man fallacies. Good job (making a fool out of yourself while trying to one up a stranger on the Internet).
Think a little further, and you might see that the amount you've recently eaten has very little relevance to how much you need to eat in the near future.
You didn't get my comment it at first--it's fine, dude. Every other user understood it right away, so no problem.
What do you see as the significance of the qualifier "even if your body has had more than enough food to sustain itself for a whole week"?
