It’s no secret that most people get irritable when they are hungry. It’s so common that someone coined the phrase “hangry” to explain it. Well, it turns out, a lot of us are getting hangry way too often, and would be willing to do anything to stop it from happening. A new Farm Rich survey finds:

  • 75% of Americans admit to getting hangry five times a week.
  • Such hunger leads to 21,000 hangry outbursts over the course of their lifetime.
