"Force of habit. You can get fruit- alien fruit, too. Where I'm from, you never know when you might run out. There were a few times I starved for a while." Starved to death, actual death, but this he doesn't say. "So I usually get the stuff that lasts for a while. But yeah, they got fresh stuff. I eat it too when I'm out."

There's nothing super personal in the statement concerning food. Just fact of the matter sentiment. Don't fucking starve.
