If denied the opportunity to eat long enough, one will feel compelled to do so by any means necessary.

Only if you view yourself as a lower-order animal and not as a free moral agent.

BTW, we all have a choice to do either the right thing or the wrong thing, that is what distinguishes us from non-sentient beings like the animals.

"If you're starving and somebody throw you a cracker, you gonna be like this: Damn, that's the best cracker I ever ate in my life! That ain't no regular cracker, was it? What was that, a Saltine? Damn, that was delicious. That wasn't no Saltine. That was... That was a Ritz. That wasn't a Ritz? God, that was the best cracker I ever ate in my life. Can I have another one, please? Please, one more."

Then you get married, because you think you've found the bomb. Have the same crackers every day for a year. And you roll over one day and be like: "Hey, I just got some regular old crackers."
