So what do you guys recon? (Body) days without food; no effect, after that
+1 to TNs for a further (Body) days, then +2 TNs, +3, then dead!

That's (BodyX5) days someone can last, an average of 15days, not really
right.

I have found from personal experience that if you don't eat for 1 or 2 days
you stop feeling hungry. Then you pass out but...
