Hunger addiction, Hunger pains, Hunger saturation

Hunger addiction is when you eat the same food constantly, like steak and cookies. It will be like energy withdrawal, and you are slowed by 1/4 you current speed. Hunger pains is when you are below three hunger points. You wouldn’t take damage, but you are slowed by 1/3 you current speed, and you can’t use your offhand. Going off of my fingers and body parts suggestion, your offhand would be on you stomach, slowing you and your hunger consumption.
Hunger saturation is when you eat something with more hunger points when you only need less than that. The effect would be saturation, but the saturation would be above the hunger overlay, and would be temporary. When the saturation is gon, the saturation overlay is gone, until you get more saturation

    If we're going to get something that encourages us to eat a variety of food, I would prefer something that rewards for variety, rather than punishing for eating only one thing.  That way the people who really just want to make a food variant X farm and live on that aren't forced to change.  But people who want to take advantage of the buffs that eating a variety gives can do so.

    Plus we should absolutely get some sort of early game backpack to go along with a food update that forces variety.  As it stands, we need to take up one inventory slot for food.  Depending on how a food variety update is done, it is guaranteed that you need to carry at least two types of food, and possibly many more.

     

    I don't really see the point of being slower when hungry, since in effect that is already the case for most players.  Most people I watch on youtube sprint as a matter of course, so the lack of ability to sprint a startling reduction in speed.

    I mentioned the need for an idea like this in my Agricultural Reforms post without going in to detail because, well, it deserves its own post.

    I slightly disagree with ClayGoddessSari here in that I think you should be rewarded for variety and punished for a lack of it, because that's the way it works in real life. But I can't for the life of me come up with a system that doesn't have any major downsides. I honestly would rather see Mojang come up with something amazing themselves.

    No, no, no and just outright NO. What about living in a mesa? You would be eating dried kelp FOREVER, unless you find an abandoned mineshaft, then you would be eating pumpkins and melons AS WELL as dried kelp. So I repeat, no, no, no and just outright NO.
