Many years ago, someone told me "a hungry man is an angry man." I don't know how women related this statement but based on my experience and observation, I have noticed that when people are hungry, they are angry and frustrated. When I am stressed out, anxious, and depressed, I am always in a terrible mood. When I get to eat good food, my mood changes suddenly and I feel good.

TLDR: Eating as a Therapy
In the forum thread, Nomad introduces the idea that hunger can lead to feelings of anger and frustration, a concept summarized by the phrase "a hungry man is an angry man." Nomad observes that eating good food significantly improves mood, particularly when feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. Lammchen responds by agreeing that eating can positively alter one's mood and admits to experiencing "hangriness" when having to wait for food while out with friends. Lammchen also mentions a personal eating habit of grazing, preferring to eat small amounts throughout the day rather than having large meals. Both participants acknowledge the impact of food intake on emotional well-being and mood stability.
I never thought of it that way, but yeah, I can see how eating changes me a little so I can get along with the rest of the world.
I'm more a grazer in that I like to eat little things throughout the day instead of waiting for a big meal. When we're out with friends though I have to wait to eat and I suppose sometimes I get a little "hangry".
