"An empty stomach is not a good political adviser." - Albert Einstein

The empty stomach syndrome seems to be a timeless issue, plaguing even Einstein.

Picture it...It's 12:30 PM. You're in the middle of getting through this wicked report, debugging that last bit of code, putting the final touches on that graphic or about to solve that crazy equation and you don't want to take a break. You decide to push through the cranky sounds emerging from your stomach for the greater good. Next time you look at the clock it's 3 PM. Now what? If you're anything like me, you have passed your hunger's point of no return and thus have a case of 'empty stomach syndrome' or ESS for short. ESS occurs when you're too hungry to make any decisions on what to eat, and when left too long, some people become very irritable. When you have ESS, all you know is you need a good quantity of molecules, preferably the edible kind, to be ingested and transformed into energy, and thus sanity, which in turn will make your stomach and brain happy. Of course all of your co-workers have already eaten and they are in awe of the fact that you haven't eaten lunch yet. Even the meal suggestions from those trying to help seem lackluster and not worth your money or the time it would take to bring it back to your cubicle. What do you do?
