answer:Can someone feel hunger yet not be hungry? I think so. “I feel hunger” is a temporary state, easily remedied, while “being hungry” implies a more permanent state. The comedian Louis C.K. does a marvelous bit about how annoying it is when someone of means, living in a developed country, says, ”[whiny voice] I’m starving!” He recommends talking with a person who truly doesn’t have food and, due to necessity, hasn’t eaten.
