Would you really be THAT hungry?


In the episode 'Boys Adrift' where the two teens small boat gets swept out into the ocean one of the boys says he was so hungry after 3 days that he was going to cut off his own finger and eat it...Is it normal to be THAT hungry after 3 days???

I really doubt it.

MAYBE after 13 days but not 3.

reply

I really didn't think so, but then again I've never gone 3 days without eating so I'm no expert on the matter lol

reply

I have gone three days without eating and i definitely did not want to cut my finger off and eat it. (granted I had as much water as I wanted and that may have made a little bit of a difference)

reply

haven't seen that one but my first thought is whats the point? I mean how long would a measly finger keep you full?

reply

I can't imagine being that hungry. But a good example of being desperate would be the episode where the guy is on the raft for 76 days, and he said he would give up his hand for water. I probably would do that!!!

reply

I can imagine it is possible. I mean I get hungry if I skip one meal, so it isn't too hard to believe. He didn't go through with it so it must not have been that huge of a desire.

reply

He was also very dehydrated which caused him to be delirious. He wasn't thinking clearly.

LOL that reminds me of an episode of Grimm where Sargeant Wu eats the stuffing in his couch.

Forgive the late reply.

He was not going to cut off his finger to eat it.
He was going to snip a small part off to use as bait to catch fish.
He did,,,,,,,,,,,and it worked!!!
