I did a double-take at the title of this thread because for the longest time, it would take forever for my sims to finish a meal, sometimes even pausing for what felt like half an hour while they were still urgently hungry. I don't know about simulated people, but when I'm so hungry that I'm legitimately uncomfortable, I will wolf that food down like the Cookie Monster at an Oreo factory. I'm glad my sims learned how to chow down and be done with it.
