Default Post WW I

I remember reading a paper many years ago that stated that the civilian population of Germany during the end stages of the war had so little to eat that they were in the process of starvation. After the war ended and food became more available some subset of the population continued to starve themselves in order to have the same feeling they experienced while food was unavailable.
