Do you ever wish we didn’t need to eat?

I don’t want to eat anything, as not a single food item sounds good to me. But I take medicine that requires food, and I don’t want to have zero energy, so I found something to eat. The past few days I was thinking while I’m grateful for having access to food, I sure wish I could go without it.
Anyone ever think odd things along those lines?

NO!
It's the only vice I have left, lol.
I DO know what you're feeling. I had GI issues that required surgeries. After those surgeries I had a lot of pain and was taking many different meds. Eating with the meds was required and I just had no desire to eat at all. Even my normal favorites didn't appeal to me. It got better when I felt better.
I hope it gets better for you soon.

Not at all, food is one of the pleasures of life. However, what I do wish is that delicious fattening food had zero calories in it .

When it is hot I used to get that way. I need to keep Bob fed and I am supposed to eat regular meals as well. When I was first married to my first husband on his work days and duty days when he had to be on the ship over night I would eat things like a half can of tuna and a small tomato and a small chunk of cheese. Or I would make oatmeal. Ask me about exploding a pyrex bowl of oatmeal and raisins on top of a gas stove.
I will say that if I was not trying to keep weight on Bob, I probably would eat differently.

As the saying goes some eat to live and some live to eat. I sometimes feel I live to eat specially when I see those chocolates

Sometimes, nothing sounds good, no matter what. But we have to eat, so....I am going to suggest getting into experimenting a bit in the kitchen. It's fun, good therapy, you can try to make a few things that sound good. Nowadays, you don't even need a cookbook--so many recipes available online. You can even just type in what ingredients you have that may go together (or maybe not!) and see what ideas you have pop up.
Who knows, you could be the next famous cook!

when it's so hot I don't want nothing to eat, but like you
I have to eat to take my meds so I have to take some
time indoors to cool off where I can eat something.

No, I don't... I like different foods too much to think like that.
I take several meds morning and evening that require me to take food with them or they'll make me try to throw up. If I don't have anything in my stomach, it will still make me sick.
I'm sorry you aren't feeling your best and hope something is found that will help you.

There are many times that I do not want to eat at all during a hot day.
