of Food and Poison

Here is a would you rather that I thought of yesterday.

Would you rather come to the table everyday never knowing if there was going to be food or how much, or would you rather eat at the table that always had enough food?  The only catch is that while the food is good in quantity, it is bad in quality.  It is poisoned.  Not much, not deadly.  Just enough to make you sick.  Not all the time, just most of the time.

What do you pick—the pain of hunger or the pain of sickness?
