Sustenance

Calories can be hard to come by in the wastes, and many different organisms have found ways to adapt to this harsh new fact of life. After being exposed to a source of FEV, your body responded by making improvements to the way it not only breaks down energy, but also how it uses it. Though your taste buds may need some time to catch up with this evolutionary boon, you can now consume spoiled or raw food with no consequences to your health. Working with greater efficiency, this food sits longer in your digestive tract so that all nutrients can be fully extracted from it, allowing you to feel sated for much longer periods of time than that of a normal human. You also grow a few new water reservoirs hidden discretely amongst your organs to help prevent dehydration. You may appear to grow a small spare tire around your gut, but even close friends won't notice this alteration as a mutation without an X-ray device and some serious medical training.

When calculating Hunger and Thirst double the time it takes for these states to become lowered. This does not protect you from radiation or poisons, only natural decomposition and the microbial life that typically flourishes during this process. In exchange, your body does require a little more sleep and you must rest eight hours instead of six to lower your Sleep states.
