Editing Guide to food and drinks (section)

==Hunger==
As you walk and move about on station, your starting nutrition bar will start to drain from starting green, down to dark red. The effects of obesity and hunger are inversely bad of each other, and it is best to keep yourself reasonably fed with food or drinks, else you will suffer one of the two extremes.

The six hunger levels are <span style="color:red">Starving</span>, <span style="color:orange">Hungry</span>, <span style="color:#FFE303">Fed</span>, <span style="color:green">Well Fed</span>, <span style="color:blue">Full</span> and <span style="color:gray">Fat</span>. The only bad levels are <span style="color:red">Starving</span>, <span style="color:orange">Hungry</span> and <span style="color:gray">Fat</span>.
Currently, you won't see your nutrition bar unless you are hungry or fat.

Note that nutrition is typically slow-release, so if you don't fill up immediately, you will in the near future. Listen to your stomach messages when eating, don't eat if your body is unwilling.

===Starvation===
If you drop to dark red, you move very slowly and your description reveals your lack of eating habits. You are starving, this is not good! You won't die, but you will move slowly until you eat some food, so head to the [[Kitchen]] for a burger or slice of meatbread!

===Obesity===
A troubling problem for all station goers who enjoy food too much, without working off the calories they consumed. You grow pudgy and move slowly, though not as slow as a starving person. You will only become fat once your food has had time to digest, this becomes a problem if you are say, working on the [[solars]]. By getting enough exercise, you can work off those pounds, but [[Surgery#Lipoplasty|surgery]] or using [[Guide_to_chemistry#lipocide|lipocide]] is faster.  Note that you can also become fat from drinking too much.


When one is fat, eating the mint or ingesting [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mint_Toxin|mint toxin]] (from grinding the mint) will gib them.

===Satiety===
Eating healthy food and being well fed can make your organism temporarily stronger against viruses and toxic reagents that get into your body. Being hungry will make you metabolize both [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|good]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Toxins|bad]] reagents slower, for a higher total effect.
On the other hand, eating junk food will satiate your hunger for a while but it will make you want food again faster, and eating too much of them can make you a bit jittery.


===Breakfast===
Some food and drink types will give a positive moodlet for 10 minutes if consumed within 15 minutes of the start of the shift. These are:
*most egg based foods
*coffee
*bacon
*oatmeal
*orange juice
*milk
*pancakes
*waffles
*donuts
*toasts
