in my cwa class we talked about the differences between poverty in america and poverty elsewhere. I have experienced an example of that for myself today. and have come to the conclusion that "you don't know what hunger is until you eat something that you don't like." or would rather eat something you don't like.
Yes there has been situations in which i have eaten foods that I don't like. In those times it was usually I'm hungry but this is what's for dinner.
I was thinking to myself 'poor me. I'm hungry.' i was thinking that i finnaly understood what hunger was. until i realized that there was rice crispies and corn flakes in the cupboard. I was unwilling to eat these things despite my hunger. I did however get a slight glimpse of hunger as I flung open cupboards in search for food. and as i viciously cut open a can of olives(the can opener has already been packed away in a box somewhere) I was willing to eat strange combinations of food like a hunk of cheese with a can of olives and the last egg. But not foods that are distasteful.

semi related topic-
I have come to realize how much I love to learn. I enjoy the situations out of the class room in which I experince the primnciples taught in the class room. I love to partake in thought provoking conversations. Though I am not much of a talker, give me a good topic to talk about and I am all for it. I love being a student of the world.
