Phenomenological analysis reveals hunger does not equate to object possession or awareness of reality.
Being aware of a world/environment does not bring into being the world or the consciousness. And the sense of hunger does not make the reality of the world an instrument and a possession for one's own use and consumption. The quasi-evidence of hunger in terms of taking and chowing down is a phenomenological issue. With hunger and consciousness there is no “identification.” Neither with things in themselves, nor with things for me.
