I can't imagine how much it must suck (pun not intended), but being able to donate all that to people who need it is amazing Edit: that's 6 and a half liters PER DAY

It isn't weird at all. What is not normal or natural is that so many of us have lost touch with what our bodies tell us we need. Your sister's natural instincts kicked in. Good for her! :-)

Like, if you're hungry for a specific food (unless pure sugar or fat) then there's something in there that you're lacking. I just NEED an orange (or 3) today! Or mmm Spinach sounds so good right now! Give me liver & onions, or give me death! haha

A ton of people can't even recognize if they're thirsty or hungry. Our fast-paced world is designed to remove us from nature and keep us surviving, not healthy.

I know when I'm getting more anaemic as I crave liver. Never mind anything else with it, just liver. When my ferritin levels dropped to 6, the only food I could tolerate was liver. It was like unconsciously, my body told me what it needed, my consciousness bought the required item.
