Food poisoning

Food poisoning is an effect induced by eating either raw chicken or rotten flesh, which turns the hunger bar green and quickly drains food. Rotten flesh has a 100% chance to cause food poisoning, and raw chicken has a fairly high chance to cause it (~60%).

If a player eats a single piece of bad meat there will be a net loss in the hunger bar, however it is possible to have a large gain eating several items at once, even if they are rotten flesh and/or chicken. This is because the duration of the food poisoning doesn't stack, and the player will really only feel the effects of one bout of the sickness.
