On Hunger

		One thing. One thing. One thing: 

	Tell me there is
	A meadow, afterward.

You can starve to death by living on rabbit meat alone — or the flesh of any wild animal that has burned off its fat during winter. This form of starvation is known as rabbit poisoning, in which excessive proteins fill your stomach while leaving your body entirely unnourished, flooding your liver and kidneys with ammonia, urea, and amino acids.
