I think it depends on the way the character uses his lifestyle. If the character
roleplays the additional food req's then they will be paying for the xtra snacks
thru the game - thus no extra should be paid for lifestyle.. but if this isnt
done then perhaps extra might be worth it.. ?

I have a similar problem but slightly different in itself.

I have a character with the syprathyroid which increases food requirements. He
has an RV with high lifestyle living quaters in it (he is a rigger - yes), and
Ive paid for 4 months of Middle lifestyle. Now If I had the character live out of
his RV and then paid lifestyle, the lifestyle payment doesnt have to pay for rent
because he is living out of his RV. Would this mean that I could use the
lifestyle payment to make him live at high lifestyle rate from the RV?

Do people understand what I am getting at here? If so, what are the opinions?

Good point. A person could be living in a run-down apt. and still be buying
enough food to justify a Middle lifestyle.

Yeah, makes sense to me! As long as you take into account fuel costs, RV
upkeep, and the other costs of having an RV.
