Food fatigue is a very real thing, and it can take its toll on anyone.
Food fatigue happens when you become bored or overwhelmed by eating. It is involuntary and even if your body is hungry, you may not eat or eat enough. This is a psychological issue and can be brought on by stress, which as we have mentioned previously, will be increased in a long-term survival situation.
Food fatigue is also a result of eating the same or similar thing for long periods of time which is why it is important to store a wide variety of items to assist in breaking up any monotony. Changing up your tastes and textures can go a long way to helping your mind overcome food fatigue and help give some reprieve of the survival stress to you and those around you. We also understand that in a survival situation you may have little or no electricity so this recipe could be modified to make pancakes over a fire as well.
