That scene is so weird.

It implies that neither of the protagonists ever become hungry. Sarah is shown eating a pizza earlier, but she barely touches it, and then Kyle never seems to go for any kind of food or sustenance. He's shown to sleep, have nightmares or flashfronts (flashforwards? Can it be 'flashBACK' when none of it has happened yet? Then again, it's HIS past that is everyone else's FUTURE, so time is not as simple as people think), drive cars, run, gulp, have sex, but we never see him eat or have any interest in food.

So, a brave warrior comes from a future where the main course is 'rat' and probably starves a lot on a daily or at least weekly basis, into an era of 'food abundance', goes to supermarket to shop (with shopping skills of an expert that knows about and understands money, sales tax, supermarkets, different aisles and shopping carts and cash registers, can read for some reason, and so on)..

..and doesn't even think to buy a loaf of bread or a potato, or whatever unhealthy crap americans usually eat, like hamburgers and stuff?

I mean, this guy has NO interest in food, but yet is able to keep a very well toned muscular structure with admirable athletic ability and lots of energy.

Maybe he's one of the machines.... a 'breeder' type?

I know I am reaching, but when you think about it, it's all so weird - surely Sarah would've asked again after the 'playful joke answer', and wanted to really know what they're gonna eat, because she's probably very hungry. I wonder if she'd have the tact to avoid talking about being 'starving' to someone who has ACTUALLY starved a lot..

In any case, Kyle should absolutely be overwhelmed by all the food he sees - people eating, food in the supermarket and so on and so forth. Heck, maybe even the clothing store would've had some kind of food items for sale somewhere.

Someone from that kind of future would absolutely hoard food any chance he gets. Of course he's a 'disciplined soldier' or whatever, but still.

Omg he's worrying about his life & Sarah's life & that maniac cyborg. Food just isn't important to him right now.

reply

When worrying about life and life threatening combat, food becomes very important.

Look at the contents of an MRE sometime. They have power bars and energy drinks included for a reason.

Huh?! When I'm scared I'm gonna die any minute I'm not hungry at all!

When I was fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom from Kuwait to Baghdad, every time we went on the attack we were sure to get calories in us. And the first thing we did after a firefight was have some coffee and eat.

Keep in mind, we're not talking about stopping everything and setting out a table cloth for a sit down meal. We're talking about taking bites of food in pouch as you go about your business.

High physical exertion requires high calories to maintain. You put out that level of effort and you're body is going to scream for calories.

I disagree. I would refuse to die hungry and find a way to get some food
