Re: Human Experiment: The Effects of Starvation on Behavior

Your partner was correct, it didn't take me long to find references for that, but they are not in copyable form. You can click here though, that should land you right on top of the page in the Google Preview of Memorial Candles by Dina Wardi and Naomi Goldblum.

I would assume that people starving in the third world would be under the influence of the same mechanism, which seems to be geared towards survival. It probably works well out there, but in this crazy western world of ours it's all gone wrong. SNAFU.

Seems to me like the different behavior is triggered by a nutritional deficiency caused by lack of / incorrect food.

By the way I quickly searched for starvation and third world and found this, which is a book called Beyond Anorexia. Not really third world stuff but the same sort of thing these other articles speak about.

Oh why can't we just buy all this info on a USB stick and plug it into our heads. I am going to give this a rest for a while it takes too much time. But yes, it is fascinating.
