Hunger level disparity

[szanth]

It seems a bit odd and slightly offputting how the food level between normal and hungry is far greater than the food level between hungry and very hungry. Or is it? Is it in my head? If it is, what's the gameplay justification for it?

EDIT: Hrm, The Back Room section of the forum is available now; for some reason, when I looked for it before posting I couldn't find it. A mod can move this there if they want.

It's not a linear scale. I don't see any problem with that.

Well I mean it just kinda sneaks up on you. You're normal, and after a while you get hungry, and you figure "Okay it took a while, I should be alright" but in about half that time you're already very hungry. If it's meant to be like that for whatever reason, I guess, alright. Just seems a bit off.
