Food
Food items provide various means of restoring 
and are essential to survival.
Water
Drinking water will restore to maximum (usually 6), give the 
Refreshed effect, and remove the 
Thirsty effect. When 
Dehydrated!, drinking water will change your status to Thirsty and not restore any . The Refreshed effect prevents you from restoring again from water, and stops you drinking for this purpose. If you become Thirsty or Dehydrated! later on you may drink again to remove these effects.
Food
Eating food (and premium and infected foods) restores your to maximum and gives the 
Fed effect which prevents you from eating again today.
This has a truly bizarre taste, it's difficult to define. It does the job though: fills your stomach. On the other hand, it doesn't give you any extra energy...
