Increased food consumption

[stgatilov]

I 'm playing L16 Orc Archer in ADOM winbeta4.
No artifacts are equipped (though there are some in the backpack)
I have no "grant invisibility" items.
I am not strained (and not even burdened).

According to the wiki page:
http://ancardia.wikia.com/wiki/Satiation
I should have food consumption of 1 per turn.
This means that getting from "Hungry" to "Hungry!" takes 100 turns.

However, it takes 50 turns.
If I equip two artifacts it takes 33 turns.
So food consumption is equal to 2 for unknown reason.
I can't find any explanation to this.
I even tried to drop all the items I have but food consumption still remains 2.

Can anyone help me decreasing it back to 1?

Removing that corruption you have.

This is usually listed as "beneficial" but all they have dark side.

From narrative reason i do not understand why light corruption should increase food consumption, but that is mine problem.

How else would you stay so light? You burn up the calories twice as fast, you start loosing weight. Seems pretty sensible to me.

I will ask my girlfriend about this....

So character becomes more hungry after each corruption power gained?
Or only "thin and nimble" causes this?

Only this one as far as my black knowledge reaches.

okay, you spend 2x energy and eat 2xfood, which leads to same balance of energy, except...

You make 2x shit. Do you mean shit makes man lighter?

Careful now...

An advanced adventurer has completely atrophied intestines anyway, and probably lacks an arsehole - because they'll be eating stomafillia only. Going from 1 point of food consumption to 2 means you'll have to eat 6 instead of 3 blessed herbs - per week! What traces of indigestible junk will be left can be breathed off.

Of course, it's a whole different matter for those who still have to eat ordinary food - at 25kg of iron rations per day (at normal non-monkish food consumption), every adventurer would probably produce 20kg of shit daily, twice that when light and nimble (not even considering that a large ration would weigh more than most extra-light characters at 10kg).

And now consider the huge numbers of animals and humanoids loitering around in the Caverns of Chaos, all of whom will have to eat - evidently the forces of Chaos have installed a magical cleaning apparatus, or the chaos gate would have been shat tight decades ago.

For as adept in black knowledge it is crystal clear chaos is run on pore shit anyway.
